 Huron, indigenous people of North America. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
The long-standing enmity between the Huron and the Iroquois reached a climax in 1648, when the Iroquois, armed with Dutch firearms, invaded Huronia and subsequently disrupted (1649) the Huron confederacy.
The survivors of the Huron fled in all directions—southwest to the Tobacco Nation, south to the Neutral Nation, southeast to the Erie, and northeast to a French fort near Quebec.
The Huron who had fled to Quebec ultimately received a small reservation at Lorette, where many still live, but the remnants of the Huron and Tobacco Nation went, under pressure from the Iroquois, first to Michigan, then to Wisconsin and Illinois, where the Sioux attacked them.

 Revisiting Traditional Carols with Bruce Cockburn
And he wrote that song in the Huron language, so subsequently the Huron culture was obliterated by the Iroquois Confederacy, and by historical currents that all native people were forced to confront, and there isn't a surviving Huron culture now that I'm aware of.
But my friends who were searching out the true Huron pronunciation for me were steered by the people in those villages to a guy named John Steckley [sp] at the University of Sudbury in Ontario who is a linguist and student of things Huron and actually does speak Huron.
So he was kind enough to provide me with a tape of him reading the lyrics in the original Huron so I was able to get out the original pronunciation.
