Tionontate

The Tionontate were an Iroquoian confederacy south of Georgian Bay in present-day Ontario, closely related to the Wendat. The French called them the Petun.

In the early seventeenth century they lived in eight or nine villages. Epidemics struck in 1634–1640, followed by Haudenosaunee attacks during the Beaver Wars. Survivors joined Wendat and Wenro refugees to form the Wyandot, who settled at Michilimackinac in 1671 and moved to the Detroit area in 1701.
