Question

Homework help... please.... :)

Answer 1

The Wyandot, or Wendat, are an indigenous people of North America, originally from what is now Southern Ontario, Quebec, Canada and Southeast Michigan. They are culturally identified as an Iroquoian group, and were a confederacy of four tribes. Their agriculture included the production of corn, beans, squash, sunflowers and tobacco. Early French explorers called them the Huron, either from the French huron (peasant), or, according to Jesuit Father Gabriel Lallemant, from hure, the rough-haired head of wild boars. The Wyandot homelands, southeast of Georgian Bay, were known as Wendake.
