Knistineaux, in its Old Algonquin form kirishtino:, is the etymon of
"Cree". Cree and Ojibway are quite distinct languages, and I don't
believe they really occupy ends of a dialect continuum. For the
Saulteaux, see http://www.d.umn.edu/~ahartley/SAULTEAUX.html

The Nuwitti are a subdivision of the Kwakiutl residing on northwestern
Vancouver Island.
