Wendake, a Huron village in Quebec, is the most well integrated and economically successful Amerindian settlement in Canada. Here, no one depends on government handouts, there is a fully functioning economy and the Amerindians work hard.

What our travelers think about their stay
The Huron-Wendat community chose tourism as the way to stimulate its socio-economic development. It's the perfect way for them to promote their identity as a native community of Quebec.
