Huron-Wendat Museum, Indigenous heritage museum in Wendake, Canada.
The Huron-Wendat Museum is a repository of objects and information documenting the lives and history of the Wendat Nation. Artifacts such as quilled bracelets, ceremonial objects, and historical photographs are presented alongside multimedia installations to convey both past and present aspects of the community.
The museum was established to preserve and document the heritage and ongoing history of the Wendat Nation. It evolved into a place where the community could tell its own story on its own terms, reclaiming narrative control from outside voices.
The permanent exhibition showcases how the Wendat community continues to practice and pass down their traditions today. Displays connect ancestral knowledge with contemporary life, revealing how these practices remain central to the community's identity.
Guided tours are available in several languages and cover both the main building and the traditional Ekionkiestha Longhouse. Plan to spend time at both locations, as they work together to provide a complete understanding of Wendat culture.
The museum offers multi-day stays in the traditional Ekionkiestha Longhouse, where visitors spend time with community members. This overnight experience sets it apart from typical museum visits, offering direct access to living Wendat culture.
