Who Are We?

Traditional Tribal Name: Waⁿdát (Wandat) | English Name: Wyandotte Nation | Language Family: Northern Iroquoian

We are Wyandotte

The Wyandotte Nation consists of remnants of the Tionontati, Attignawantan and Wenrohronon (Wenro), all unique independent tribes, who united in 1649-50 after being defeated by the Iroquois Confederacy.

Our Symbol

  • Turtle: Signifies the Tribe’s ancient belief the world was created on the back of a snapping turtle, also known as the “moss-back turtle.”
  • Willow Branches: Because of its resilience after winter or famine, the Tribe’s ancestors believed the willow tree signified the perpetual renewal of life.
  • War Club and Peace Pipe: Shows that the Tribe is ready for war or peace at any given moment.
  • Council Fire: Many tribes of the Northeast looked upon the Tribe for leadership and advice, when they came together for council, the Tribe often hosted and presided over the councils and are considered “Keepers of the Council Fire.”
  • Points of the Shield: Represent each of the Tribe’s 12 clans — Big Turtle, Little Turtle, Mud Turtle, Wolf, Bear, Beaver, Deer, Porcupine, Striped Turtle, Highland Turtle, Snake and Hawk.

A few interesting facts

  • We were instrumental in the founding of Detroit, Mich., and Kansas City, Kansas. At one time Kansas City was named Wyandotte City.
  • We adopted many white captives into the Nation. Many obtained high tribal status and made significant contributions to the betterment of the Tribe.
  • During the French and Indian War, we sided with the French against the British. During the American Revolution, we sided with the British against the Americans.
  • The Wyandot were the last tribe to leave Ohio in July of 1843.
  • Twice we were terminated then reinstated as a tribe. In 1995, we were granted “self governance” by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
  • There are two other bands of Wyandot people, the Wyandot of Anderdon Nation located in Michigan, and the Wyandot Nation of Kansas. We are the same people separated by fate, the passing of time and choices made by our ancestors.
