Wenrohronon

The Wenrohronon were an Iroquoian people of western New York, living south of Lake Ontario between the Neutral and Seneca peoples.

In 1638, after the Neutral withdrew protection against Seneca raids, over 600 Wenro crossed Neutral territory to seek refuge with the Wendat at Ossossané. Haudenosaunee attacks dispersed the Wendat and Petun in 1648 and 1649. Wenro survivors likely fled with them; their descendants moved to the Detroit area in 1701 and later became known as the Wyandot.
