Wyandot people
Through the mid 17th century the [[Beaver Wars]] were fought over the fur trade between the [[Iroquois]] and the [[Wyandot people|Hurons]], the northern [[Algonquin people|Algonquians]], and their French allies. During the war the Iroquois destroyed several large tribal confederacies—including the [[Wyandot people|Huron]], [[Neutral Nation|Neutral]], [[Erie people|Erie]], [[Susquehannock]], and [[Shawnee]], and became dominant in the region and enlarged their territory.
