Wendake (Huron-Wendat Nation)
Wendake
A Huron-Wendat First Nations community where you can visit a museum and a reconstructed longhouse to learn about the history and culture of North America's Indigenous peoples.
Wendake is the community of the Huron-Wendat First Nation, about 15 km from the old city. The Huron-Wendat Museum presents the nation's history and crafts. Next to it, a reconstructed longhouse shows traditional ways of life, with storytelling and dance performances. The village also has the Kabir Kouba Falls and an old church. Nearby, the First Nations Hotel and Museum serves Indigenous-inspired cuisine. Every summer the International Pow Wow is held here, a wonderful opportunity to experience Indigenous culture.
