Talk:Wyandot
From Academic Kids
The history of these people is complex and hard to summarize in a short encyclopedia article. There is a very good analysis of the interrelationships of the languages and tribes in the article by John Steckley, which I added as a source. Briefly, these people were beaten by the Anishinabek to the North, the Iroquois (Hadenosaunee) to the south and east, the French and then the English. The English and Iroquois pretty well finished them off. Many were assimilated by the Iroquois, others were displaced to the east (Quebec) and south (Kansas and Oklahoma).
Note that Steckley says that it is unclear as to whether the Bear, Rock, Cord and Deer were clans, moitees or tribes. He uses "tribes," so I went with that. Sunray 07:45, 2003 Dec 8 (UTC)
