Transforming Village Life
Between 1450 and 1500, ancestral Huron-Wendat people transformed their village life. Small, unfortified communities merged into larger, more widely spaced villages built on hilltops for defence and surrounded by wall of upright logs. Violent conflict occurred between neighbouring villages, including one along nearby Black Creek father down this trail.
After two or three generations, relative peace was secured. A larger, more integrated village structure became a permanent feature of ancestral Huron-Wendat culture, which was also enriched by interaction with far-distant communities.
