This Civilization your making they are Algonquin speakers right. Will they be a Indo European or Bantu equivalent spreading their language and pantheon across The continent?
Yes, they are, and they'll spread a la Indo-European, but it's nothing that didn't happen in OTL. It's one of the first things I will cover, and will be used as a framing device of sorts. Different dialects will spread in different regions, and I have a few regions that will have Algonquian speakers that didn't in OTL, and vice versa. Any map of Algonquian's OTL range will serve as a good visual of the general range of Algonquian expansion, though not completely accurate in detail.
There will also be a handful of languages that will take very divergent paths location wise. By the time Columbus comes rolling around, the Americas will be very different linguistically.
As for religion, I have a lot of ideas in that section that I'm very excited to share. Mythology and its spread and evolution overtime is another one of my favorite topics. So stay tuned for that.
Also how will they interact with the Mesoamericans will it be trade war migration? Will they exchange crops and livestock? I mean these two civs have a lot to trade. The Mesoamericans have spices Coco honey Gold and Jade. While the Algonquins have wine Jams Furs hemp metals and maybe Maple Syrup.
I don't want to go into too many details, but your ideas aren't too far off. The exchange between these two areas will have a lot of layers, so I'll leave the bulk of it for the TL. The trade commodities (well, some of them) you've mentioned are a good starting point, but there will be plenty more interchanged between Mesoamerica and North America (what should we call it? Borealamerica?).
Oh yeah maple syrup has to be part of the Algonquin package
Oh, maple syrup will be a huge part of cuisine for the Algonquians. It's going to become a very valuable trade item. Expect to read a lot of everything maple related in the timeline proper.
Two words: maple "mead". A tradition of brewing combined with a larger population base could help make this jump, which is admittedly challenging due to maple syrup's chemistry versus honey. I'd assume you'd mix it with certain berries during the fermentation. Speaking of honey, I'm curious as to if any bee species north of the Southwest/Mexico are domesticatible. Only stingless bees (like those kept by the Maya) seem to be able to produce honey in any real quantity, and those aren't able to thrive in most of the United States.
Yes, maple "mead" (I believe it's officially acerglyn) will be brewed by the Algonquians. I've read a bit about it on a few forums, and the consensus is split on whether it is a good beverage in its own right, or if it's better adjunct to another beverage. I've decided for varieties with more pure maple content to be regarded as a status of wealth, while varieties with less maple content being more common among everyday folk. Once trade opens up with other peoples, maple mead will be a much sought after commodity.
Regarding honey, stingless bees are only found in more tropical zones, so honey will be a trade good from Mesoamerica. Honey in the North will serve the same role as Maple in the South, a very valuable trade commodity. I'm envisioning a sort of Maple/Honey "Silk Road" propping up.
Maybe their could be a honey trade.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Refer to the post above for an idea of what I'm planning.
