- Short Description
- "The Wyandot people or Wendat, also called the Huron,[a] are Iroquoian-speaking peoples of North America who emerged as a tribe around the north shore of Lake Ontario.[citation needed]
Today, numerous Wyandot people in the United States are enrolled members of Wyandotte Nation, the federally recognized tribe headquartered in Wyandotte, Oklahoma.
In Canada, the Wyandot have a First Nations reserve, Huron-Wendat Nation, in Quebec.
By the 15th century, the pre-contact Wyandot had settled in the large area from the north shores of most of the present-day Lake Ontario, northward up to the southeastern shores of Georgian Bay. From this homeland, they encountered the French explorer Samuel de Champlain in 1615. They historically spoke the Wyandot language, a Northern Iroquoian language. They were believed to number more than 30,000 at the time of European contact in the 1610s to 1620s.[page needed]" - (en.wikipedia.org 10.08.2021) - Entity Encoding
