Definition: In the King James Version (KJV), "Algonquians" means people or a group of people who come from the Algonquian languages spoken in Canada, which are native to this region. The term "Algonquians" was originally used by the English-speaking peoples of the Americas. It is believed that these indigenous peoples of the North American continent first developed their language and culture around the 15th century AD. The Algonquian languages were spoken in what is now known as Canada, Alaska, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and parts of the United States. The term "Algonquians" is often used to refer to any people or group of people who speak a variety of Algonquian languages, which are still widely spoken today. These groups include the Inuit peoples in the Arctic region, as well as those from the Pacific Islands and Southeast Asia who have migrated to these regions. The term "Algonquians" is also used by researchers in the fields of linguistics and anthropology to refer to a specific group of people or a significant portion of the Algonquian-speaking population.
