Prior to 1650, there were large villages of the Wendat in the northern Lake Ontario region, and in the Huron historical territory of Wendake in the Georgian Bay region. Until the middle of the 17th century, the Wendake ancestors occupied a vast territory, part of what is now the United States from Detroit south to Oklahoma, to Ontario -Penetanguishene. Midland and Québec. The Huron population was approximately 20,000 to 30,000 people in 1634. The population at Wendake today is almost 3,000. Historically, the members of the Huron-Wendat confederacy were the Attinniaoenten (“people of the Bear”), Hatingeennonniahak (“Makers of Cords for nets”), Arendaenronnon (“People of the Rock”), Atahontaenrat ( “Deer people”) and Ataronchronon (“People of the Bog”). Clan members were descended from Bear, Deer, Turtle, Beaver, Wolf, Loon/Sturgeon, Hawk or Fox. During the fur trade, the Huron-Wendat were allies of the French. After the Iroquois War (a war about hunting grounds and the fur trade) about 500 Wendat peoples dispersed settling in Quebec and further south.
