Kandoucho, was one of 28
Neutral Nation, or Attawandaron, in Southern Ontario in the 17th century and the home base for one of their chiefs, Tsohahissen or Souharissen.[1] It was known to the Jesuit missionaries of Sainte-Marie among the Hurons as the village of All Saints.[2]
The exact location of the village is debated; F. Douglas Reville's "The History of the County of Brant", published in 1920, reports that historians of his era located Kandoucho near the present-day city of
Jean de Brebeuf and Pierre-Joseph-Marie Chaumonot came to the village preaching Christianity in summer 1640.[4]
At about 1650, the Iroquois declared war on the Attawandaron; by 1653, the people were practically annihilated, and their villages were wiped out, including Kandoucho.[5][6]
