The Iroquoian-speaking Huron/Wendat, historically known as Huron, lived in Ontario south of Georgian Bay until conquered by the Iroquois in 1649. Refugee populations split into a Great Lakes and Midwestern United States group (uniting with the Tionontati to form the Wyandot) and a Quebec group (the Huron-Wendat); others were incorporated into the Iroquois. The Huron were horticulturalists, principally reliant on maize, supplemented by hunting, gathering and, especially, fishing. Contact with French explorers in the early seventeenth century made the Huron avid fur traders, exchanging maize for furs from Algonquin trappers.
