A focused population profile of Algonquin European-mixed references, their eastern Canadian Indigenous and European-admixed background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Algonquin people are an Anishinaabe people historically associated with the Ottawa River valley and surrounding regions of present-day Quebec and Ontario. The European-mixed label in this database means the reference includes Indigenous Algonquin-related ancestry together with European-related ancestry.
Algonquin language varieties belong to the Algonquian branch of the Algic language family. English and French are also widely used due to Canadian history, colonial contact, and modern community life.
As a genetic reference, Algonquin European-mixed is useful for comparison with Ojibwe European-mixed, Cree European-mixed, Assiniboine European-mixed, Ottawa European-mixed, Tsimshian European-mixed, Seminole European-mixed, Paiute-Shoshone European-mixed, Haida European-mixed, Crow European-mixed, and Yellowknife European-mixed references.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Algonquin (European-Mixed) is Ojibwe (European-Mixed). Other nearby references include Cree (European-Mixed), Assiniboine (European-Mixed), Ottawa (European-Mixed), and Tsimshian (European-Mixed). This gives the Algonquin (European-Mixed) profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestry breakdown gives deeper component proportions, while closest matches show modern similarity. Algonquin European-mixed is best interpreted as an eastern Indigenous North American profile with European-related ancestry, close to other First Nations and Native American European-mixed references.
The heatmap should emphasize eastern Canada, Quebec, Ontario, the Ottawa River region, the Great Lakes, the northern Plains, the Pacific Northwest, and other Indigenous European-mixed comparison zones.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Ojibwe (European-Mixed). Other nearby references include Cree (European-Mixed), Assiniboine (European-Mixed), Ottawa (European-Mixed), and Tsimshian (European-Mixed).
In the current modern G25 reference set, Ojibwe (European-Mixed) is the closest listed match to the Algonquin (European-Mixed) average after removing Algonquin (European-Mixed) itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Algonquin (European-Mixed) G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
