wendake, quebec

Wendake is the current name for the Huron-Wendat reserve a short distance north of Quebec City, Quebec. This was formerly known as Village-des-Hurons, or "Huron Village", and also as (Jeune)-Lorette. Its inhabitants are the predominantly Catholic descendents of Hurons displaced from their original homeland near Midland, Ontario through war with the Iroquois in 1650. The exact location of the village has shifted several times, before coming to stand at the modern-day site (Jeune-Lorette) in 1697. The mostly non-Huron suburb of Ancienne-Lorette stands on the site of a former Wendat site. Wendake was also the name given by Hurons to this original Ontario homeland south of Georgian Bay, which is also known as Huronia.
