The French governor has made me commit so black an action that I shall never be easy after it until the Five Nations have taken full revenge. He then dismissed his prisoners with presents of arms, powder, and ball, keeping but a single man an adopted Shawnee to supply the place of the only man he had lost in the engagement.
Thus by one bold effort he rekindled the fire of discord between the French and their enemies at the moment it was about to expire, and at the same time laid the foundation of a peace with his own nation.
Adario delivered his Shawnee prisoner to the French on reaching Mackinac, who, in order to keep up the old enmity between the Wyandots and the Five Nations, ordered the Shawnee to be shot.
On this Adario called up an Iroquois prisoner who was a witness of this scene, and who had long been detained among them, and told him to escape to his own country and give an account of the cruelty of the French, from whom it was not in his power to save a prisoner he had himself taken.
This trick increased the rage of the Five Nations to such a pitch that when Denonville sent a message to disown the act of Adario, the Indians put no faith in it, but burned for revenge. Nor was it long before the French felt the effects of their rage.
On the 26th of July, , they landed with twelve hundred men on the upper end of the island of Montreal, and carried destruction wherever they went.
Houses were burned, plantations sacked, and men, women, and children massacred. About a thousand of the French inhabitants were killed, and twenty-six were carried away prisoners, most of whom were burned alive. In October of the same year the Iroquois renewed their incursions, sweeping over the lower part of the island.
The consequences of these inroads were most disastrous to the French, who were thus reduced to the lowest point of despondency. They burned their two vessels on Cadarackui Lake, abandoned the fort, and returned to Montreal.
The news spread far and wide among the Indians of the upper lakes, who, seeing the fortunes of the French on the wane, made treaties with the French, and thus opened the way for their commerce on the upper lakes. Such were the consequences of a single enterprise, shrewdly planned and resolutely executed. The fame of its author spread abroad, and he was everywhere regarded as a man of address, courage, and abilities.
From this time the ancient feud between the Wyandots and their kindred, the Five Nations, began to die out. A few years afterwards, the Wyandots settled on the Straits of Detroit, where, up to the close of the war of , they exercised a commanding influence among the Lake tribes, acting as keepers of the general council-fire of the nations.

Though food was plentiful, the Huron processed and stored much of it in preparation for the long, cold winter months. They lived in rectangular barracks-style structures called longhouses, which doubled as food processing and storage facilities.
Tethered to rafters, meats and produce dried and cured. Pits in the floors of the longhouses stored baskets of food, which kept nourishment handy, yet hidden from wild animals.
Households required many basic tools. Huron wove baskets from hemp and long grasses and carved spoons and other utensils from wood or bark. Women formed and fired clay pots for cooking. Fields required preparation for planting, and the Huron women tilled and leveled the earth with wooden hoes. Seeds germinated on trays indoors before being transferred to the field.
