Known as Huron to most of us (see Lake Huron). The Hurons are, however, not
indigineous to Québec (they were chased from Ontario, then also New-France,
by Iroquois raiders). The remnants of the tribe came to Québec for
protection.
This «o u» ligature was discussed last month (the reference glyph is still,
methinks, incorrect).
