RD, As regards the linguistic part of your query, the Anishinabe (Chippewa/Ojibwa) language would not be intelligible to a speaker of Virginia Algonquian, and vice-versa, of course, although they were relatively closely related (somewhat like English and German). Additionally, in Virginia the native languages had died out by the time of the Civil War, though vocabularies were collected from them which enables schalars to reconstruct certain aspects of them, such as grammar and the placement of them in the overall classification of the Algonquian family.
