person in each clan, no matter their nation or village, was seen as related. Thus, people would have to marry a person outside of their clan. Economy About 70% of the area north and west of Lake Simcoe and south and east of Georgian Bay, where Huron-Wendat nation occupied, was agricultural land. Because of this, most Huron-Wendat were farmers, and their economy was based on horticulture by growing maize, beans and squash. Culture Housing Similar to other Iroquoian-speaking people, the Huron built in longhouses that had rectangular shape with rounded roofs that were covered by bark panels. These houses were built to serve as a home for nuclear, extended family. Clothing Wendat clothing was mostly made from deer and beaver hides. Their clothes were very decorative by using porcupine quills, feathers, and wampum, and red was the most favourite colour in their culture. Men wore loincloths and moccasins on their feet, and in the winter, they wore sleeves and a cloak made of fur. On their backs, they wore fire pouches so that they could carry tobacco pipes, charms and personal belongings. Wendat men tended to smoke, so it was common for them to carry a pipe. Women wore the same thing as men, but instead of loincloths, they wore skirts. Media Book The book, Revisiting 1759, was written by author Thomas Peace and published by the University of Toronto Press in 2012. In chapter 6, Peace talks about how Huron-Wendat Nation responded to changes that happened during the conquest of Quebec from 1697 to 1791.
