Huronie

Marco, an Innu from Mashteuiash, wonders why the Huron-Wendat all speak only French. Seeing his own Innu language decline, he leaves for the ancestral places of Huronia in Ontario, where the Wendat people lived when he met Champlain in 1615. Today, no Wendat live there. After the famous Iroquois massacre of 1649, what really happened? His investigation will reveal that, long before Quebec City or Montreal, on the shores of the Great Lakes, the hope of the Francophonie in the New World was lived. This documentary allows students to deepen their knowledge of the traditions, culture and history of the Huron-Wendat people and the Francophones of Georgian Bay in Ontario.
