Who are Algonquin people with a European-mixed profile?
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.
What is Algonquin European-mixed DNA closest to?
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, Algonquin with a European-mixed profile is closest to 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. The result reflects an Indigenous North American and European-related mixed-profile comparison space.

Where is Algonquin European-mixed DNA closest on the map?
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.
Algonquin (European-Mixed) Genetic Distance HeatmapWarmer areas show closer modern population averages.
Is Algonquin European-mixed the same as unmixed Algonquin DNA?
No. This page describes a European-mixed reference, meaning the average includes both Algonquin/Indigenous North American and European-related ancestry.
Why do Ojibwe and Cree European-mixed references match Algonquin?
Ojibwe, Cree, Ottawa, and Algonquin are all Indigenous North American references with related regional and mixed-profile comparison patterns.
Why do western Indigenous mixed profiles also appear close?
When European-related ancestry is present, different Indigenous North American mixed profiles can overlap more broadly in G25 space.
