Welcome to my Sioui website. My maternal Sioui family is aboriginal, Huron Wyandat from Wendake, Quebec. For a bit of history, Huronia, was the original homeland of the Huron who occupied an area of central Ontario between the southern end of Georgian Bay and Lake Simcoe. After the dispersal of the Huron by the Iroquois in 1650, one group relocated to Lorette (just north of Quebec) where it has remained ever since and the remaining Huron (merged with Tionontati, Erie, and Neutrals) spent the next 50 years wandering as refugees through Wisconsin, Minnesota, and upper Michigan. By 1701 they had moved to the Ohio Valley between Detroit and Cleveland where they were known as the Wyandot.

The United States currently has more than 4,000 Wyandot organized in two main groups: the Wyandot Nation of Kansas; and the Wyandotte Tribe of Oklahoma. Only the Oklahoma Wyandot are federally recognized as a tribe.

Only 300 Hurons were able to relocate safely to Lorette in the northern part of Quebec city and my ancestor Annenorak was one of them. The name of the village changed, it is now called Wendake, Quebec.
