So say my sources, but such matters of nationality are often
vague after 450 years. Note that the "Huron" of Canada
are the "Wyandot(te)" of the U.S., and are to be found
not only in Oklahoma but also in Kansas, though not
recognized there by the U.S. government.
"8endake" is apparently the Huron/Wyandot name for their
original homeland.

In Brantford, Ont. there is a tourist attraction called
"Kanata Iroquois Village", showing that the word is surely
Iroquoian in origin.
