    The Huron collapsed in the mid 1600's. I think you only need to be 1/16 to be a carded "Indian" under the Indian Act in Canada, but I may be mistaken...

    It's an eighth in this country. I'm an eighth, but it isn't as big as it is up there.

    The Hurons still exist , but in very small numbers ( like 3000 in a near Québec reserve), they have a lot of french blood though because quite a lot of huron women and french men married in New France ...

    I wasn't saying that they got wiped out completly. The Huron were New France's major trading partner, and their closest allies, and then (I can't remember the exact reasons, but disease was one of them) but their populations collapsed and then the Iriquois (who were opposed to New France, and got guns from the English) were able to tcarry out more raids on the small Huron populations and the settlers in New France colonies.

    I should really just go get my Pre-Confed. history text book...:p
