WYANDOT

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 861 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: WIL-YAK
WYANDOT , or
HuRoN
  (q.v.), a tribe of N. American Indians of Iroquoian stock. When first met by the
French
  early in the 17th
century
 , the Wyandots lived between Georgian Bay and Lake Simcoe, Ontario. They were then estimated at about ro,000, scattered over twenty villages. They were continually the victims of raids on the
part
  of their neighbours the Iroquoian league of six nations and the Sioux, being driven from place to place, and a dispersal in 165o resulted in one
section
  settling in
Quebec
 , while others found their way to
Ohio
 , where they fought for the
English
  in the Wars of Independence and 1812. By a treaty made in 1817 the latter
section
  was granted territory in
Ohio
  and Michigan, but the larger
part
  of this was sold in 1819. In 1842 they migrated to Kansas. In 1855 many became citizens, the
remainder
  being in 1867 removed to a reservation (now N.E. Oklahoma), numbering about 400 in 1905. The Hurons at Lorette, in
Quebec
 , also number about 400.
