 Though the Council of Three Fires often fought against the Iroquois Confederacy (or the "Naadowe" as they are called in the Anishinaabe language), the Chippewas of Saugeen Ojibway Territory peacefully shared the territory with the Wyandotte/Wendat Nation who also made the area their home.The Ojibway Nation called the Wendat peoples "Nii'inaa-Naadowe" ("The 'Nadowe' within our homeland"), but the French referred to them as "Huron" and lent their name to the Lake.People from many nations moved into Saugeen Ojibway Territory after the War of 1812.
