The Huron-Wendat lived in the vast lands and forests known now as the Quebec and Ontario provinces. About 300 of them, who at a time were more than 22 000, came from Ontario to establish themselves near the waterfall they named Kabir Kouba in 1697 : the village was called Jeune-Lorette and was located next to Quebec city.


   Renowned for their negociating, artistic and commercial skills, they became a modern native community which will be happy to welcome you at Maison Aroüanne.

   There, you'll be offered guided tours to the historic village and chapel. Also, it is possible, upon request, to participate in animated work-shops where you produce a traditionnal native object while exchanging with some young Huron-Wendat on ancient and modern topics.
