  • Cartier and Roberval's Tag Team To Colonial Failure
    2025/05/08

  • Always Wendat, Sometimes Huron
    2025/03/28

    A closer look at the spirituality, cultural norms, The Feast of the Dead burial ritual, and overall society of the Wendat Confederacy. Be warned that there is some discussion of torture and somewhat graphic descriptions of how death rituals were carried out.

    If you really want to go deep into the history of the Wendat people, you can read The Children of Aataentsic: A History of the Huron People to 1660 by Bruce G. Trigger. It also works as a doorstop when you finish with it. It is great, but a huge book.
