Most Algonquian words were originally spoken by Catholics, who called themselves "LENAPE."
The Lenape, who spoke Old Norse, created a history, where they called themselves Lenape. The Lenape history was created 500 years before the English Protestants wrote another version of early America history.
Thus the "Algonquin" language is really the LENAPE language.
