Wyandot Indians (modern Wyandotte Indians)
A tribe of the Iroquois family; originally named Tionontates or Dinondadies, and settled on the shores of Lake Huron, where they cultivated tobacco to such an extent that the French called them Tobacco Indians.
After being nearly destroyed by the Iroquois they moved to Lake Superior, and subsequently, by reason of disasters in war, to Michilimackinac, Detroit, and Sandusky.
In 1832 they sold their lands in Ohio to the United States government and removed to Kansas, settling at the junction of the Kansas and Missouri rivers.
To a small band which remained near Detroit the British government assigned the Huron reservation on the Detroit River.
In 1899 there were 325 Wyandottes at the Quapaw agency in the Indian Territory.
