Wendat Confederacy  
The Wendat (Huron) Confederacy was made up of five nations, Iroquoian in language and culture, that lived close to one another in their homeland of Wendake, near Georgian Bay of Lake Huron. According to what the Wendats told Jesuit missionaries in 1640, the confederacy was founded in the early 1400s by the Attignawantan and Attigneenongnahac nations. The Arendahronon nation joined in 1590 and the Tahontaenrat in 1610. The Ataronchronon joined the confederacy at a later date before the dispersal of the Wendats from Wendake in 1650.
