Kulóskap the master, and other Algonkin poems, Opening, part 2, sentence 21
The existing representatives of the Algonkin or Algic race may be separated linguistically into three great divisions: the Blackfeet of the extreme west, whose idiom differs most greatly from all the other dialects;[5] the Cree-Ojibwe of the middle west, which embraces a number of closely allied linguistic variations[6] and the Wabanaki races of the eastern coast, with whom the present work is concerned.
Who acts: idiom, Cree Ojibwe, present work, eastern coast · What happens: exist, separate, differ, embrace, ally, be · To what, where: existing representatives, three great divisions, number
