Territories, memories, knowledge at the Huron-Wendat Museum
Why not use the holiday season to discover a new culture? In Wendake, the First Nations Museum offers a fascinating perspective on Huron-Wendat history and various traditional holiday games (December 20 to January 3, excluding December 25 and January 1).
