Kaotia
Kaotia appears on the seventeenth-century map of Wendake drawn by François du Creux, among the villages of the Wendat country near Georgian Bay. French missionaries maintained a network of missions in this region, centred on Sainte-Marie among the Hurons. One nearby village, Sainte-Anne, was struck by an epidemic in 1640, when illness spread from house to house and onward to other villages. Alongside the missionaries' accounts, the old map preserves a glimpse of the Wendat settlements of the time.
