The Neutral Confederacy, Neutral Nation, or Neutral people (also called Attawandaron by neighbouring tribes) were an Iroquoian-speaking North American indigenous people who lived in what is now southwestern and south-central Ontario. In particular, they lived throughout the area bounded by the southern half of Lake Huron, the entire northern shoreline of Lake Erie from the Detroit River in the west to the Niagara River in the east, plus northward around the western end of Lake Ontario. Their territory was southwest of the Tabacco Nation and west of the southern area of the Huron peoples territory. They were related to the Huron peoples, the Tabacco people (which later merged with the Hurons), the Wenro people to their east and to the Iroquois Confederation further to the east, as well to as the Erie people of the south shore of Lake Erie, and the Susquehannocks of Central Pennsylvania. Like the others of Iroquoian culture, the tribes would raid and feud with fellow Iroquoian tribes when they were not gaming and engaging in friendly competitions. They were generally wary of rival Algonquian peoples, such as those that inhabited Canada to the East, along the Saint Lawrence valley drainage catchment. Iroquoian tribes were later known to historians for the fierce ways in which they waged war. Some tribes were highly inclined to competitive games. A largely agrarian society, Neutral farmsteads were admired and marvelled over by European leaders writing reports home.
