Hi there! The correct answer is the Algonquin and the Powhatan.

The Algonquin lived in New England, present day New York, Quebec, and parts of Ontario. The Powhatan lived in the states of Virginia and Carolina (now North Carolina.) These are the areas that settlers first conquered, so the correct answer is algonquin and Powhatan.

I hope this answer helped you!

The Indigenous groups that Europeans encountered first on the Northeast coast were the Algonquin and the Powhatan. The Algonquin were a Native American tribe who primarily inhabited the area that is now known as New England and the Canadian Maritimes. The Powhatan were a confederation of Native American tribes located in Virginia, particularly around the Chesapeake Bay region. These groups had early interactions with European explorers and settlers, such as the English Jamestown settlement in Virginia.
