Abenaki words - Wapanaki [Dawn Land People]
*Their Own Name: Wapanaki [Dawn Land People]*
*
*The Abenaki called themselves Alnanbal meaning "men." The name
"Abenaki" - spelled variously as: Abenaqui, Abnaki, Alnanbal, Benaki,
Oubenaki, Wabanaki, Wippanap - originated from a Montagnais (Algonquin)
word meaning "people of the dawn" or "easterners." Indiscriminately
applying their name for the Mahican to all Algonquin south of the St.
Lawrence, the French frequently referred to the eastern Abenaki as Loup
(wolves) - or more formally as the Natio Luporem or Wolf Nation. The
French, However, called the western Abenaki the Sokoki. Borrowing the
name of the southern New England Algonquin for Abenaki, the English at
first used Tarrateen for both Abenaki and Micmac. Later, Tarrateen came
to mean only the Micmac, and Abenaki the tribes of northern Maine. The
Sokoki, or western Abenaki, were known in New England as the St Francis
Indians. Other names for the Abenaki were: Anagonges (Iroquois),
Aquannaque (Huron), Bashaba, Gannongagehronnon (Mohawk), Moassones,
Maweshenook, Narankamigdok, Natsagana (Caughnawaga), Obunego; Onagunga,
Onnogonges, Opanango, Owenagunges, Owenunga, and Skacewanilom (Iroquois).

Algonquin [algong'kwin, -kin]
*
www.realduesouth.net/WolfsRetreat/Algonquin-Info.htm
Algonquin , small group of Native North Americans. The name of the
Algonquian branch of the Algonquian-Wakashan linguistic stock (to which
they belonged) is derived from their name (see Native American
languages). They were among the first Native Americans with whom the
French formed alliances, and their name was used to designate other
tribes in the area. Despite French aid, they were dispersed in the 17th
cent. by the Iroquois, and the remnants of the tribe found refuge
chiefly near white settlements of the Ottawa River valley in W Quebec
and E Ontario. There were close to 6,000 Algonquin in Canada in 1991.
The name is also spelled Algonkin.
