Answer 2

The Huron Indians were a proud Indian nation with a well-defined governmental system. The Huron nation was divided into sub-tribes or clans. Their history is filled with wars, which led to loss of territory and forced many sub-tribes to relocate to safer territory. The Huron were not nomadic tribes; they had many great villages each with its own government representative.

The Huron lived in communal dwellings consisting of large log style homes . Most log houses ranged between 45-55 meters or 150- 180 ft long. They were made of slabs of bark over pole frames. The longest log house ever found measured 125m and was found in New York. During the peaceful years the Huron’s hunted and fished and used bows and arrows and spears. The Huron were able to catch almost anything they wanted to eat. They were a diverse group of people who lead a very diverse life and had a direct impact on the land and the people who inhabited it.

The Huron, also known as the Wyandot, are a tribe of Native Americans who originally inhabited an area of central Ontario. The Huron were the bitter enemies of the Iroquois, and – after being driven from their lands in 1650 – split into two factions. The first group travelled to Quebec, while the other, larger band moved into the Ohio Valley region. During the 1840’s these people were moved on to Kansas. Many of these people still live in the Kansas area.

Prior to the arrival of the white man the Huron may have numbered as many as 40,000 people. When the French arrived in the early 1600s, there was a confederacy of four main Huron bands, comprised of about twenty villages. Each Huron village was relatively autonomous, The people lived in sometimes cramped and always well fortified settlements of up to 1,000 members. As with most of their neighboring native tribes, the Huron were to lose vast numbers to the guns and the diseases of the Europeans. By 1640, they were down to just 10,000 people. Some Huron were to amalgamate with other tribes, leaving only a few thousand to move to Kansas. Today those Huron living in the United States are known as Wyandot and are to be found primarily in Kansas and Oklahoma.
