An enchanted night walk
into the heart of Huron-Wendat culture

You are invited to Wendake, near the city of Quebec, to discover an enchanted night walk that celebrates the Huron-Wendat Nation and their way of life.

As night falls, you will be transported along a 1.2-kilometre pathway infused with the magic of light, sound and video projections. This immersive multimedia experience will invite you into a collective adventure rich with emotion, that bridges the founding myth to a vision of a bright and promising future.

Under the starry sky, immerse yourself in ancestral rhythm and song. Step inside the Great Circle to feel your connection with all living things.

In the heart of Wendake, a poetic forest journey awaits you. Begin within the Great Circle, then travel across the back of the Turtle, around the heart of a traditional longhouse, through the village and among the stars. Along the way, the Wendat language will come to life, as stories are told in light and songs infuse every step.

Celebrate the unique way of life that has guided the Huron-Wendat through time immemorial.

Turtle Island is the traditional name given to North America by the Huron-Wendat and shared by several other indigenous peoples. In the Huron-Wendat version of the creation myth, a piece of earth, fallen from the sky, is retrieved from the water’s depths by grandmother Toad, and spread out upon the back of the Great Turtle, becoming an island. In this way, Yäa’tayenhtsihk had a place to live after she fell from the Sky World to the Water World below.
