Wyandot
The Wyandot are an Indigenous people formed in the 17th century from Wendat and Petun refugees after the Iroquois destroyed their homelands in 1649-1650. They settled around Detroit and in northern Ohio, where they became leading members of Indigenous alliances against American expansion. Most were removed to Kansas in 1843 and later to Oklahoma.
