Wikipedia
Wyandotte is an alternate spelling of Wyandot, a group of native North Americans also known as the Hurons, who are enrolled in the federally recognized Wyandotte Nation.
Wyandotte or Wyandot may also refer to:
Wyandotté is a historical novel published by James Fenimore Cooper in 1843. The novel is set in New York state during the American Revolution. The main character of the novel is an Indian, "Saucy Nick" also called Wyandotté ("Great Chief"), whose depictions violate stereotypes of Native Americans.
Critic Jame H. Pickering described the novel as rejecting the more established histories of the New York/Canada border war during the Revolution. In part the novel represents Cooper's own knowledge of the regional oral history and affiliation with soldiers who had experienced the war.
