Wendat
Wendat is the name of a northern Iroquoian people whose homeland is a peninsula in Georgian Bay of Lake Huron in present-day Ontario, Canada. Also known as Wyandot or Huron, Wendat means "island (or peninsula) dwellers." The Wendat who joined the 1704 raid on Deerfield were a group much reduced by epidemic and war with the Iroquois Confederacy who had moved from their homeland of Wendake to the village of Lorette near Quebec City. The Wendat continue to live in Lorette, now called Wendake, in Quebec, Canada, and on reservations in Oklahoma in the United States.
