- Ojibwe (Chippewa, Anishinaabemowin) — northern United States and eastern Canada
- Blackfoot — Montana, United States
- Mi'kmaq (Micmac) — Nova Scotia, Canada
- Lenape (Unami, Delaware) — Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, United States
- Mohawk — New York, United States; Ontario and Québec, Canada; Iroquoian language
- Cherokee (Tsalagi) — North Carolina and Oklahoma, United States; Iroquoian language
