L’horloge des Algonquins
Les tribus amérindiennes qui composaient le peuple algonquin se fiaient à la lune pour marquer le temps. Ils nommaient chaque pleine lune selon les activités saisonnières du cycle en cours. Leur territoire, immense, s’étendait du lac Supérieur jusqu’au littoral atlantique, ce qui a donné une grande variété de noms à travers la collectivité algonquine.
