Huron

Appearance
Huron is a brown mare with black lower legs and a gray muzzle. She also has a black mane and tail, and wears a feathered tie in her hair. She also wears a traditionally decorated saddle.

Tribe
The tribe this steed is based on are located around Lake Simcoe region of Ontario, Canada. Also known as the Wyandot, which means, “Islanders.” Huron is a French word that may have come from here, which means “head of a wild boar.” Culturally connected to the Iroquois, they built longhouses. They hunted beaver and traded with the French, once the fur trade began in North America. Conflict with the Iroquois caused them to flee their homeland. One band went northwest and settled in Quebec, where they live today. Another band went westward, settling in Ohio, then Wisconsin, and finally Kansas. Eventually, they were forced out of Kansas and resettled in Oklahoma. Today the Wyandots have their tribal headquarters in Wyandotte, Oklahoma.
