Through the prisms of leadership, women, and power, this book traces the Wendat diaspora beyond a discourse of destruction and into a new world of rejuvenation and hope.

Focusing on the resilience of We dat/Wädat women, the book presents a unique perspective on colonialism in North America. It highlights how these women not only resisted colonial forces but also played crucial roles in preserving their culture and serving as matriarchs within their communities. By integrating historical narratives with community-guided research, it offers an alternative account that emphasizes the strength and agency of Indigenous women in the face of adversity.
