"The Tionontatehronnon were politically independent and, though allied with the Wendat, pursued a separate set of interests. They were, for example, closely allied with the Neutral and the Odawa. Close trading relations were combined with a military alliance against the Algonkian speaking peoples of the lower Michigan peninsula, including the Potawatomi."
