huron
n. countablen. a member of a group of Indigenous people from North America who lived near the Great Lakes. Today, many people use the name Wyandot instead.
n. a member of a confederacy of Iroquoian-speaking North American Indigenous people originally inhabiting the region around Lake Huron. Often replaced by the endonym Wyandot in contemporary academic and social contexts.
The Huron people lived in large villages near the lake.
Historical accounts describe the Huron as skilled traders who established extensive networks across the Great Lakes region.
The displacement of the Huron confederacy during the seventeenth century led to the dispersal of its members across various regions, eventually forming the modern Wyandot Nation.
When referring to the people as a group, it can be used as a collective noun ('the Huron') or as a plural ('the Hurons').
