Algonquin (Great Nuclear War)

The Algonquin are a tribal people in former Ontario, living in Algonquin Provincial Park.

History
After the Great Nuclear War, many people living in Rural Ontario were uprooted from their homes, fleeing the cities, abandoning family lands, and moving out of towns and villages, wandering in search of food and other resources. Many people found their way into the wilderness of Algonquin Provincial Park, a land rich with clean running water, game, and wild edible plants. Previously nomadic refugees soon became natives of this area, grouping into bands, competing with other bands, and following the game, living as First Nation peoples did in centuries past.

Dress
Algonquin clothes are commonly made from animal skins, and decorated with clay beads, feathers, and complex dyes made from natural ingredients. Headdresses made from moose skulls and antlers are common among the priestly class. Red is a sacred color among them, and clay beads are often colored red with dye and blood, with red banding patterns and vaguely leaf shaped patterns being made from colored beads being common.

Language
Algonquin speak mostly English, but a sizable proportion speak Quebecois French (approximately 45%). Many individual Algonquin are known to have learned Low Welsh (especially near the border of Owen), or Ojibwe.
