Wendake (French pronunciation: [wɛndake] ⓘ) is the current name for two urban reserves, Wendake 7[2] (46°51′24″N 71°21′12″W / 46.85667°N 71.35333°W[1]) and Wendake 7A,[3] (46°52′13″N 71°21′54″W / 46.87028°N 71.36500°W[4]) of the Huron-Wendat Nation in the Canadian province of Quebec. They are enclaves entirely surrounded by the La Haute-Saint-Charles borough of Quebec City, within the former city of Loretteville. One of the Seven Nations of Canada, the settlement was formerly known as Village-des-Hurons ("Huron Village"), and also as (Jeune)-Lorette ("New Lorette").
Since the late 20th century, archeologists have found large 16th-century villages of the Wendat (Huron) in the northern Lake Ontario region, which is where they believe the people coalesced as a distinct group. Later they migrated south and by the early 17th century had settled in their historical territory of Wendake in the Georgian Bay region. The Wyandot Confederation was made up of loosely associated tribes who spoke a mutually intelligible Iroquoian language.[5]
