Huron

The Huron, also known as the Wyandot, are a Native American people originally from the area around Lake Ontario in North America. Historically, they were known for their agricultural practices, particularly the cultivation of maize, and their involvement in the fur trade during the 17th century. The Huron formed a confederacy of tribes and had complex social and political structures. Their encounters with European settlers led to significant cultural exchanges and conflicts, which ultimately impacted their population and way of life.
