Prince Society’s Edition of Champlain’s works. Read by C.E. to Champlain Society, May 19, 1882 Samuel de Champlain On Christmas day 1635, [about a year before the foundation of Harvard College,] Samuel de Champlain, sol dier, explorer and first Governor of New France, died in the fort of Que- bec. The trading post which he had established twenty-three years before had become a mission house, and a black-robed Jesuit pronounced his funeral discourse. Champlain was born in a sea-coast town near La Rochelle about 1567, - in the middle of the religious wars. At the age of twenty-five, he was made quarter master in the army of Henry IV, and he served with distinction in Brittany until the close of the war against the League. The soldier’s life, however, was not his choice. In a letter addressed to the Queen Regent he says of the art of navigation, “This is the art which from my earliest years has won my love and induced me to expose myself all my life to the impetuous waves of the ocean.” An irresistible love of ad- venture and discovery was one of his most striking characteristics. It was this that led him to conceive the wild scheme of a voyage to the Spanish West Indies and Mexico, at a time when all but Spaniards were excluded from those countries.

  • Champlain, Trade, and Indigenous Deathways by Douglas Hunter
    Hunter/Iroquet’s World… 1 Iroquet’s World: Champlain, Trade, and Indigenous Deathways By Douglas Hunter, PhD Presented at Circles of Interaction: The Wendat and Their Neighbours in the Time of Champlain, a joint symposium of the Ontario Archaeology Society and the Eastern States Archaeology Federation. Midland, Ontario, October 2015. In the summer of 1609, Samuel de Champlain tells us, an Indigenous leader emerged from the world beyond the Grand Sault (Lachine) rapids at present-day Montréal, seeKing an audience with the Frenchman who had built the new trading habitation at Quebec the previous year. Iroquet (Yroquet) was the leader—perhaps we should say a leader—of an Algonquian-speaKing group that Champlain would also call the Iroquet. Iroquet’s people lived in easternmost Ontario, within an area roughly described by a triangle formed by Ottawa, Kingston, and Montréal. Iroquet’s son had observed Champlain in 1608 and had persuaded his father to maKe the trip down the St. Lawrence to meet Champlain. Iroquet brought with him Ochasteguin, a leader of the people the French would call the Huron. It was the first time Champlain met a member of the Iroquoian-speaKing confederacy we now know as the Wendat. The Wendat occupied an area between southeastern Georgian Bay and LaKe Couchiching called WendaKe. Ochasteguin’s tribe, the Arendaronon, lived in the easternmost part of WendaKe and were closely allied with Iroquet’s people, who were known by a Wendat name as the Onontchataronon and wintered with them there. According to Champlain, Iroquet and Ochasteguin were seeKing a special relationship. They wanted his support in their ongoing conflict with the Iroquoian Haudenosaunee, or Five Nations, of what is now upstate New YorK.

  • Thanksgiving Trivia Questions and Answers From: Conversationstartersworld.Com/Thanksgiving-Trivia-Questions
    Thanksgiving trivia questions and answers From: conversationstartersworld.com/thanksgiving-trivia-questions There are many countries and cultures that have a Thanksgiving holiday or celebrations based around giving thanks. But this set of trivia questions will focus mostly on Thanksgiving in the United States. Although there is a section at the end for trivia about Thanksgiving celebrations around the world. History of Thanksgiving in the USA What year was the celebration that is most commonly attributed as the first Thanksgiving? 1621 This is the celebration that people most often talk about when they are talking about the “first” Thanksgiving. But there are others that are claimed to be the first Thanksgiving. There was another celebration in Plymouth in 1623 and one in Boston in 1631 that people claim was the actual first Thanksgiving. In reality there were lots of Thanksgiving celebrations in North America before 1621 as well because days of Thanksgiving were often celebrated after good events that were deemed to have the hand of God behind them. How long did the first Thanksgiving celebration last? 3 Days It was celebrated much earlier than our current celebration, possibly in late September. There were about 50 European settlers and around 90 native Americans who attended the 3-day feast. When the religious group that would later be known as the Pilgrims left England to practice their religion freely, where did they go? Leiden, Holland Unlike the Puritans, the Pilgrims believed that they couldn’t practice their religion within the English state church. This led to fines and sometimes imprisonment. To escape persecution, they fled to Leiden, Holland.

  • Massasoit of The
    OUSAMEQUIN “YELLOW FEATHER” — THE MASSASOIT OF THE 1 WAMPANOAG (THOSE OF THE DAWN) “NARRATIVE HISTORY” AMOUNTS TO FABULATION, THE REAL STUFF BEING MERE CHRONOLOGY 1. Massasoit is not a personal name but a title, translating roughly as “The Shahanshah.” Like most native American men of the period, he had a number of personal names. Among these were Ousamequin or “Yellow Feather,” and Wasamegin. He was not only the sachem of the Pokanoket of the Mount Hope peninsula of Narragansett Bay, now Bristol and nearby Warren, Rhode Island, but also the grand sachem or Massasoit of the entire Wampanoag people. The other seven Wampanoag sagamores had all made their submissions to him, so that his influence extended to all the eastern shore of Narragansett Bay, all of Cape Cod, Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, and the Elizabeth islands. His subordinates led the peoples of what is now Middleboro (the Nemasket), the peoples of what is now Tiverton (the Pocasset), and the peoples of what is now Little Compton (the Sakonnet). The other side of the Narragansett Bay was controlled by Narragansett sachems. HDT WHAT? INDEX THE MASSASOIT OUSAMEQUIN “YELLOW FEATHER” 1565 It would have been at about this point that Canonicus would have been born, the 1st son of the union of the son and daughter of the Narragansett headman Tashtassuck. Such a birth in that culture was considered auspicious, so we may anticipate that this infant will grow up to be a Very Important Person. Canonicus’s principle place of residence was on an island near the present Cocumcussoc of Jamestown and Wickford, Rhode Island.

THE CANADIAN HANDBOOK AND TOURIST'S GUIDE. INTRODUCTION. The Nooks and Corners of Canada, and. more especially of the Lower Province, in addition to the interest they awaken as important sources of Commercial and Agricultural wealth, are invested with no ordinary attraction for the Naturalist, the Antiquary, the Historian, and the Tourist in quest of pleasure or of health. We have often wondered why more of the venturesome spirits amongst our transatlantic friends do not tear themselves away, even for a few months, from London fogs, to visit our distant but more favoured clime. How is it that so few, comparatively speaking, come to enjoy the bracing air and bright summer skies of Canada ? With what zest could the enterprising or eccentric among them undertake a ramble, with rod and gun in hand, from Niagara to Labrador, over the Laurentian Chain of Moun- tains, choosing as rallying points, whereat to compare notes, the summit of Cape Eternity in the Saguenay district, and 6 Introduction.

  • Wampanoag, Tribespeople “Of the Dawn”
    THE WAMPANOAG, TRIBESPEOPLE “OF THE DAWN” “Ye see, Hinnissy, th’ Indyun is bound f’r to give way to th’ onward march iv white civilization. You ’an me, Hinnissy, is th’ white civilization... The’ on’y hope f’r th’ Indyun is to put his house on rollers, an’ keep a team hitched to it, an’, whin he sees a white man, to start f’r th’ settin’ sun.” — Finley Peter Dunne, OBSERVATIONS BY MR. DOOLEY, New York, 1902 HDT WHAT? INDEX WAMPANOAG WAMPANOAG When the English settlements first commenced in New England, that part of its territory, which lies south of New Hampshire, was inhabited by five principal nations of Indians: the Pequots, who lived in Connecticut; the Narragansets, in Rhode Island; the Pawkunnawkuts, or Womponoags, east of the Narragansets and to the north as far as Charles river;1 the Massachusetts, north of Charles river and west of Massachusetts Bay; and the Pawtuckets, north of the Massachusetts. The boundaries and rights of these nations appear not to have been sufficiently definite to be now clearly known. They had within their jurisdiction many subordinate tribes, governed by sachems, or sagamores, subject, in some respects, to the principal sachem. At the commencement of the seventeenth century, they were able to bring into the field more than 18,000 warriors; but about the year 1612, they were visited with a pestilential disease, whose horrible ravages reduced their number to about 1800.2 Some of their villages were entirely depopulated. This great mortality was viewed by the first Pilgrims, as the accomplishment of one of the purposes of Divine Providence, by making room for the settlement of civilized man, and by preparing a peaceful asylum for the persecuted Christians of the old world.

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.
