The Wyandot of Canada

The Wyandot of Canada, numbering approximately 2,000 people, are No Longer Unreached. They are a Great Lakes confederacy whose Huronia homeland in Ontario held 20,000-30,000 people by the early 1600s, farming villages moved every 15-20 years, until an 1650 Haudenosaunee dispersal scattered survivors who re-established the Wendat Confederacy in 1999. They mostly adhere to Protestantism and English is their primary language.
