Lorette
Following the destruction of the Wendat Confederacy in 1649, about 300 Wendats, with close ties to Jesuit priests, took refuge near their French allies outside Quebec City. After relocating several times, in 1697 they settled the village of Lorette eight miles outside of Quebec near the Kabir Kouba falls of the Akiawenrak River. In 1986, the people of Lorette changed their community’s name to Wendake to commemorate their homeland on the Georgian Bay.
