Milwaukee, Wisconsin May 2012 ABSTRACT A PLACE UNDER HEAVEN: AMERINDIAN TORTURE AND CULTURAL VIOLENCE IN COLONIAL NEW FRANCE, 1609-1730 Adam Stueck Marquette University, 2012 This doctoral dissertation is entitled, A Place Under Heaven: Amerindian Torture and Cultural Violence in Colonial New France, 1609-1730 . It is an analysis of Amerindian customs of torture by fire, cannibalism, and other forms of cultural violence in New France during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Contemporary French writers and many modern historians have described Amerindian customs of torturing, burning, and eating of captives as either a means of military execution, part of an endless cycle of revenge and retribution, or simple blood lust. I argue that Amerindian torture had far more to do with the complex sequence of Amerindian mourning customs, religious beliefs, ideas of space and spatial limits, and a community expression of aggression, as well as a means of revenge. If we better understand the cultural context of Amerindian torture, we see more clearly the process of cultural accommodation in New France.

Please express my gratitude and fraternal best wishes to Father Vincent Biaggi, S.J. and to your pastor Father James Donovan, S.J. Thank you to Father Daniel O’Brien, S.J., associate pastor of the shared parishes of Saint Martha, Uniondale and Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, Roosevelt for your presence here today. Together, Bishop William Murphy, Bishop Robert Coyle, Bishop Luis Romero, Fr. Bright, Fr. Herman, Fr. Alessandro da Luz, seminarian Louis Cona and I celebrate this historic moment with you, with our Holy Father Pope Francis, with Jesuits around the world, and with the People of God of the Diocese of Rockville Centre and the universal Church. It was in 1978 that Father Joseph Austin, S.J. arrived at Saint Anthony’s in Oceanside as a new pastor with two other members of the Society of Jesus.1 Our diocese and generations of Saint Anthony’s parishioners have been blessed by the spiritual charism and evangelizing spirit of the Society of Jesus. Founded by Saint Ignatius of Loyola, the Society of Jesus or “the Jesuits”, of which our Holy Father Pope Francis is a member, is the largest male religious order in the Catholic Church.

  • North American Martyrs (Isaac Jogues, Jean De Brebeuf and Companions)
    North American Martyrs (Isaac Jogues, Jean de Brebeuf and Companions) Feast Day (US): October 19 Feast Day (Canada): September 26 Canonized: June 29, 1930 On October 19, we honor the six Jesuit priests and two lay missionaries who we have come to know as the North American Martyrs. Their work for the Lord began in 1636 in the land that would become Canada. Father Isaac Jogues, Father Jean de Brebeuf, and Rene Goupil, a layman with medical training, and other helpers were sent from France to preach the Gospel to Native American tribes in the land that was known at that time as “New France,” and in the land that would become the USA. The other missionaries who traveled to North America were Gabriel Lalement, Noel Chabanel, Charles Garnier, Anthony Daniel, and John Lalande. These faith-filled men were not welcomed by the Native Americans, who did not trust new settlers. They did not care that these were men of God. The Native Americans only knew that settlers had cheated them in the past and had taken their best hunting grounds. The missionaries first worked among the Huron tribes. They built a mission near an Indian village. They were accepted by the Hurons because they tried to help them, nursing them through illnesses and teaching them new farming skills. In time, the missionaries were able to begin to teach the Huron people about Jesus. Father de Brebeuf even wrote a catechism in the Native American language to teach the children. Because the members of Iroquois tribe and the Hurons were enemies, the Iroquois believed that the missionaries were also their enemies.

A writer usually writes about the things most on his mind. This is why one who writes ought to feed his mind on good thoughts that he can pass on to others. As I am writing now — considerably past by deadline, and therefore “under the gun” — I have on my mind two events that are upcoming, and many needs of the Center — most especially the need of male vocations. The first event that is upon us is the annual Pilgrimage for Restoration (September 23-25), a three-day, sixty-five mile walking pilgrimage from Lake George, New York, to Auriesville, New York, where we will pray in the spot sanctified by the martyrdom of three of the eight holy Jesuits known collectively as the “North American Martyrs”: Saints Isaac Jogues, Jean de Lalande, and René Goupil. We sing, pray, listen to spiritual talks from the priests, tell stories, and occa- sionally distract ourselves from physical pain with a little mirth and levity as we walk the way of the pilgrimage. It hurts. But somehow, when the walking is over and before one’s limp is gone, the pilgrims (most of us, I daresay, anyway) look forward to next year. The next event on the horizon — some of us will still be limping — is our annual conference (September 30-October 1.) Our theme this year is “Keeping the Counter-Reformation Going.” I have chosen to speak on another Jesuit martyr, Saint Robert Southwell, and my effort is dedicated to drawing lessons from his life.
