Attignawantan

The Attignawantan, or Bear people, were a Wendat nation in present-day Ontario. They joined another nation to form the Wendat confederacy in the 15th century; the Arendaronon joined around 1590. Quienonascaran was their principal village when Gabriel Sagard visited. In the 17th-century Beaver Wars, the Haudenosaunee defeated and dispersed the Wendat, who had allied with the French.
