A Population History of the Huron-Petun, A.D. 500-1650,
reconstructs the population history of the Wendat-Tionontate
(Huron-Petun) people using archaeological, paleodemographic,
historical, and epidemiological research. This book argues that the
Wendat-Tionontate occupied southern Ontario for thousands of years
and that maize agriculture was gradually adopted by groups who were
not experiencing population pressure, but who were simply
interested in supplementing their hunting, gathering, and fishing
diet with a reliable food that could also be stored to avert winter
famine deaths. The book demonstrates that gradual population growth
followed the adoption of maize agriculture, but that rapid
population growth did not occur until the fourteenth century,
encouraged by the colonization of new lands. The book also
documents and explains why epidemic diseases of European origin did
not occur among the Wendat-Tionontate and other Native peoples of
eastern North America until the 1630s.
