The Algonquian of New York
The Library of Native Americans
Algonquians are a group of tribes who spoke languages that were similar to each other, even sharing many of the same words. Algonquians include the Lenape of the New York City area and the lower Hudson Valley; the Mahican of the upper Hudson Valley; and the Montauk, Shinnecock, and Unquachog of eastern Long Island. Authored by a leading authority on the Algonquians, this book will describe their shared culture and what they can teach us today.
