Algonquin Grandmother
Q: Hi, my family recently discovered that my great
grandmother was Algonquin. She
died when my grandfather was two and his father
remarried so we have very
little information on her and only one picture. I
was wanting to know what the
Algonquin word for grandmother is.
Thank you very much for your assistance.
