Algonquian (with that second "a") is not one language but a very large family of distantly related languages. These include the Blackfoot languages, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Menominee, Sac and Fox, Mahican, Mohegan, Delaware, Natick, Niantic, Abenaki, Maliseet, Wampanoag, Powhatan, Pennacook, Algonkin, Ojibwe (or Chippewa), Cree, Mascouten, Naskapi, Shawnee and many more.
Many of these languages are either extinct or very close to extinction (you will not find a fluent Powhatan speaker anywhere today). Others are still spoken, such as the Ojibwe and Menominee languages.
Menominee is spoken at the Menominee reservation in north-east Wisconsin; the Algonkin language is spoken by First Nations people in Quebec and Ontario; Cheyenne is spoken by about 1,000 adult Cheyenne on the Northern Cheyenne reservation in Montana.

Was Pocahontas part of the Algonquian tribe?
Algonquian is not a tribe, it's a large grouping of tribes that speak Algonquian languages. Tribes in the Powhatan confederacy, which Pocahontas was part of, spoke an Algonquian dialect. That language is now extinct, though there are efforts to reconstruct it, which means they have an approximation of it based on historical word lists and still-existing Algonquian dialects.
