Wendat Nation

The Wendat Nation (or Huron-Wendat First Nation) is an IndigenousFirst Nation of Wendat people in Quebec, established in the 17th century. Their Wendat language is a Northern Iroquoian language, and they primarily speak French. The First Nation now has two communities and Indian reserves, Wendake 7 and Wendake 7A, at Wendake, within Quebec City in Canada.

The nation's historical territory was between Lake Simcoe and Georgian Bay, known as Wendake (Huronia). The 17th-century Beaver Wars drove surviving Wendats east to Quebec, under French protection.
