  ALGONQUIAN 
  AREA. 
  

  

  The 
  area 
  formerly 
  occupied 
  by 
  the 
  Algonquian 
  family 
  was 
  more 
  

   extensive 
  than 
  that 
  of 
  any 
  other 
  linguistic 
  stock 
  in 
  North 
  America, 
  

   their 
  territory 
  reaching 
  from 
  Labrador 
  to 
  the 
  Rocky 
  Mountains, 
  and 
  

   from 
  Churchill 
  River 
  of 
  Hudson 
  Bay 
  as 
  far 
  south 
  at 
  least 
  as 
  Pam- 
  

   lico 
  Sound 
  of 
  North 
  Carolina. 
  In 
  the 
  eastern 
  part 
  of 
  this 
  territory 
  

   was 
  an 
  area 
  occupied 
  by 
  Iroquoian 
  tribes, 
  surrounded 
  on 
  almost 
  all 
  

   sides 
  by 
  their 
  Algonquian 
  neighbors. 
  On 
  the 
  south 
  the 
  Algonquian 
  

   t 
  rilies 
  were 
  bordered 
  by 
  those 
  of 
  Iroqxioian 
  and 
  Siouan 
  (Catawba) 
  

   stock, 
  on 
  the 
  southwest 
  and 
  west 
  by 
  the 
  Muskhogean 
  and 
  Siouan 
  

   tribes, 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  northwest 
  by 
  the 
  Kitunahan 
  and 
  the 
  great 
  Atha- 
  

   pascan 
  families, 
  while 
  along 
  the 
  coast 
  of 
  Labrador 
  and 
  the 
  eastern 
  

   shore 
  of 
  Hudson 
  Bay 
  they 
  came 
  in 
  contact 
  with 
  the 
  Eskimo, 
  who 
  

   were 
  gradually 
  retreating 
  before 
  them 
  to 
  the 
  north. 
  In 
  Newfound- 
  

   land 
  they 
  encountered 
  the 
  Beothukan 
  family, 
  consisting 
  of 
  but 
  a 
  

   single 
  tribe. 
  A 
  portion 
  of 
  the 
  Shawnee 
  at 
  some 
  early 
  period 
  had 
  

   separated 
  from 
  the 
  main 
  body 
  of 
  the 
  tribe 
  in 
  central 
  Tennessee 
  and 
  

   pushed 
  their 
  way 
  down 
  to 
  the 
  Savannah 
  River 
  in 
  South 
  Carolina, 
  

   where, 
  known 
  as 
  Savannahs, 
  they 
  carried 
  on 
  destructive 
  wars 
  with 
  

   the 
  surrounding 
  tribes 
  until 
  about 
  the 
  beginning 
  of 
  the 
  eighteenth 
  

   century 
  they 
  were 
  finally 
  driven 
  out 
  and 
  joined 
  the 
  Delaware 
  in 
  the 
  

   north. 
  Soon 
  afterwards 
  the 
  rest 
  of 
  the 
  tribe 
  was 
  expelled 
  by 
  the 
  

   Cherokee 
  and 
  Chicasa, 
  who 
  thenceforward 
  claimed 
  all 
  the 
  country 
  

   stretching 
  north 
  to 
  the 
  Ohio 
  River.
