Another thing, which is interesting, is the fact that some of the tribal names that are still in existence in Canada are most likely of Basque origin, for instance the word "Iroquois", which is a linguistic group which is different from the Algonquin languages (very different, they have nothing in common), and "Iroquois" must be a Basque word. Specialists in the Iroquoian languages and the Algonquin languages have never found out where it came from, and the most likely etymology is that it comes from the Basque word "il" which means "to die" or "to kill" and in this Icelandic pidgin the word was actually "ilo" and if you then add this ending "-koa" then you get "ilokoa" and in the earliest sources it was actually "irokoa", which is say the word for "killer people" and if you know anything about the relations between the Mi'kmaqs and the Mohawks and the Iroquois nations, they were enemies, so that fits the meaning and the form fit exactly what you can expect.
