Page "Algonquin people" Paragraph 17

The Sulpician Mission of the Mountain was founded at Montreal in 1677, and some Algonquins settled there together with Iroquois converts.

The mostly Mohawk community became known as Kahnawake.

But many Algonquin maintained their attachment to the traditional territory and fur trading.

Those who agreed to move to established reserves or joined other historical bands were federally " recognized ".

Many others who did not re-locate were later called " stragglers " in the Ottawa and Pontiac counties.
