Brebeuf writes at length concerning the Huron thoughts about their origins, superstitions, belief in dreams, feasts, dances, sorcerers, style of government, council procedures, and burial ceremonies. He devotes the final chapter to the Huron Feast of the Dead.
III. In DEFENSE of LE JEUNE
The work of Charles Principe (1990) entitled "A Moral Portrait of the Indian of the St. Lawrence in One Relation of New France, Written by Paul Le Jeune' states a response to what is viewed as a revisionist history that criticizes Le Jeune unfairly for his "depictions of the Montagnais in the Jesuit Relations." (Principe, 1990) the argument of Principe is that even while scholars contend that Le Jeune was particularly harsh in criticizing the tribe that there was actually great admiration of the tribe on the part of Le Jeune and that he viewed them has having the potential to develop into 'very noble Christians'.
SUMMARY & CONCLUSION
This research study sought to answer the questions of based on the work of (1) Jean de Brebeuf, a French Jesuit missionary entitled: "Relation" of 1635 how one would characterize the view of Jean de Brebeuf of the Huron people in relation to their culture, manners, etc. As well as to answer the question of to what extent that it is possible for one to pinpoint actual Huron worldviews, opinions of sentiments in this 'Relation' as opposed to only Brebeuf's views? While Jean de Brebeuf viewed this tribe as naive, fanciful, superstitious among other things, at the same time Jean de Brebeuf related the details of this culture, so clearly and so meticulously that it is possible to begin construction of these views through a comparison with other primitive cultures throughout the world insofar as understanding their level of understanding. History has shown that the Iroquois nation possessed some knowledge that was greatly advanced for any world civilization in their day and through the careful documentation process faithfully scribed by Jean de Brebeuf the individual who endeavors to...

Jesuit Relations: Natives and Missionaries in Seventeenth-Century North America edited by Allan Greer. Specifically it will consider the role the Jesuit missionaries played in the history of New France circa 1633-1665. This book is an important historical document because it preserves many of the practices and parts of the Northeast Native American culture that are now long gone. Reading this book is an excellent introduction to Native American culture
New World" & "Black Robe" Both Terrence Malick's "The New World" and Bruce Beresford's "Black Robe" deal with themes of Native American encounters with European settlers and how it impacted both parties. There are subtle differences in each movie, but the main themes of cultures clashing and the inevitable conflict that will occur as a result permeate both films. Both films are notable for their attention to detail and their
Nathaniel Bacon, a wealthy planter staged an uprising, which eventually developed into a rebellion, against Sir William Berkeley's corrupt regime. His manifesto opens with how perverted the morality of the colony has become. Bacon enumerates corruption, where the quality of the lives of their colonizers have greatly improved but the welfare of the colony has stagnated and downgraded, the administration's protection of their" darling Indians," where the interest of the
Colonial America: Questions Puritans Unlike previous European settlers who came to the New World primarily to make a profit, the Puritans arrived with a commitment to create a new society and genuinely 'settle' on the land. They had no plans to return to England, given that they had been cast out of the Old World because of their religious beliefs. Unlike the settlers at Jamestown, they came prepared to work hard, and
The Huron convert out of fear and self-interest, and ultimately the French mission is destroyed after the entire tribe is massacred by the Iroquois. Black Robe is intensely realistic in its portrayal of disease, inter-tribe conflict, and the worldview of the Jesuit priest. It is also realistic by showing how relationships between white men and native women were common, even though the Europeans would often disparage the native population as
colonization of France in North America Colonization of France in South and Central America begin under the kingship of King Francis I, when he heard of Spain and Portugal finding wealth in the lands of Central and South America. He ordered a French navigator, Jacques Cartier, to explore a land where French people can get better trading opportunities. He made three journeys. The purpose of these journeys were to explore
