From the first contact with Europeans to the French and Indian War,
the American Revolution, and the War of 1812, the Wendat peoples
have been an intrinsic part of North American history. Although the
story of these peoples - also known as Wyandot or Wyandotte - has
been woven into the narratives of European-Native encounters,
colonialism, and conquest, the Wendats' later experiences remain
largely missing from history. From Huronia to Wendakes seeks to
fill this gap, countering the common impression that these peoples
disappeared after 1650, when they were driven from their homeland
Wendake Ehen, also known as Huronia, in modern-day southern
Ontario. This collection of essays brings together lesser-known
historical accounts of the Wendats from their
mid-seventeenth-century dispersal through their establishment of
new homelands, called Wendakes, in Quebec, Michigan, Ontario,
Kansas, and Oklahoma. What emerges from these varied perspectives
is a complex picture that encapsulates both the cultural resilience
and the diversity of these peoples. Together, the essays reveal
that while the Wendats, like all people, are ever-changing, their
nations have developed adaptive strategies to maintain their
predispersal culture in the face of such pressures as Christianity
and colonial economies. Just as the Wendats have linked multiple
Wendakes through migrations forced and voluntary, the various
perspectives of these emerging scholars are knitted together by the
shared purpose of filling in Wendat history beyond the seventeenth
century. This approach, along with the authors' collaboration with
modern Wendat communities, has resulted in a rich and coherent
narrative that in turn enriches our understanding of North American
history.
