Starting in 1812, actually following the War of 1812, there seemed to be a push of the native people in the Ontario area north. Same with most other native cultures, they were pushed out of their beautiful firtile land and into a place that they are unfamiliar with.
“The 1830 Indian Removal act took more of the Huron’s land. In 1842 they were moved to Kansas. When Kansas was opened to white settlement, more of their diminishing reservation land was taken from them. Today there are about 4,000 Huron in the United States and Canada. They are known today as the Wyandot.” (The Huron Indians)

"The old estimates of Huron population have been previously given. After the dispersal of the Huron tribes in 1649-50, the Hurons who fled west never seem to have exceeded 500 persons in one body. Later estimates are 1,000, with 300 more at Lorette (1736), 500 (1748), 850 (1748), 1,250 (1765), 1,500(1794-95),1,000 ((1812), 1,250 (1812). Only the first of these estimates is inclusive of the " Hurons of Lorette," Quebec, who were estimated at 300 in 1736, but at 455, officially, in 1904. In 1885 those in Indian Territory (Oklahoma) numbered 251, and in 1905, 378, making a total of 832 in Canada and the United States." (Huron Indian Tribe History)
So the Huron has slowly died out, and its not as prosperous as they once were. Which is sad because the Huron where a beautiful culture just like the majority of Native American people were, and most of them are gone.
