Who are the Wendat people?
The Wendat people are an Indigenous group whose traditional territory includes parts of what is now Canada and the US. Their language gave us the original name 'Ontari'io' for Lake Ontario, meaning 'lake of shining waters'. This highlights the long history and cultural significance of place names, often predating modern national borders.
