Wendake, Quebecとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Wendake is the current name for the Huron-Wendat reserve, an enclave within Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. One of the Seven Nations of Canada, this was formerly known as Village-des-Hurons ("Huron Village"), and also as (Jeune)-Lorette. The Huron-Wendat of Wendake (formerly called the Hurons of Lorette) originally had territory in the Georgian Bay region. Until the middle of the 17th century, their ancestors occupied a vast territory straddling part of what is now the United States (from Detroit as far south as Oklahoma), south-eastern Ontario (Penetanguishene and Midland) and Quebec. They hunted and trapped throughout this territory (mainly in the Laurentian Mountains, between the central section of the Saint-Maurice and the Saguenay rivers).
