The main Tionontati village was overrun, and less than 1,000 Tionontati and Huron managed to escape to a temporary refuge on Mackinac Island near Sault Ste. Marie (Upper Michigan). The Iroquois followed, and by 1651 the Huron and Tionontati refugees (who together would become the Wyandot) were forced to relocate farther west to Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Wow, Chad! Homeboys!! I bet they got first dibs on Packers season tickets, too.

I'm comin' down on your side, Chad.

The empire extended west from the north shore of Chesapeake Bay through Kentucky to the junction of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers; then north following the Illinois River to the south end of Lake Michigan; east across all of lower Michigan, southern Ontario and adjacent parts of southwestern Quebec; and finally south through northern New England west of the Connecticut River through the Hudson and upper Delaware Valleys across Pennsylvania back to the Chesapeake.

There is still, to this day, an Iroquois presence in Wisconsin - a large group of Oneida ended up there at some point. My great grandfather, a Mohawk, actually lived there for a period as well... Our people waged war in every state east of the Mississippi river, in fact ;0)
