Years: 1653 - 1653
The Iroquois have gained additional territory in the west and south by dispersing the Petun, or Tobacco Nation and the Chonnonton or Neutrals, upon whom the Iroquois had declared war in 1650.
Like the Huron, both tribes are Iroquoian-speaking nations.
Following decimation by disease, Huron, Petun and Chonnonton survivors are dispersed by Iroquois warfare and encroachment after 1650.
By 1653, the Neutrals are practically annihilated, and their villages are wiped out, including Kandoucho, the nearest to the Hurons.
The remnants of the Petuns join with some refugee Hurons to become the Huron-Petuns, later known as the Wyandot.
