Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Jesuit Relations and Allied Documents, Vol. 29: Travels and Explorations of the Jesuit Missionaries in New France, 1610-1791; Iroquois, Lower Canada, Hurons, 1646
The savages at Tadoussac are so devoted to their religion that their ignorant zeal carries them into several indiscretions, and their Spiritual director is obliged to administer reproofs; they acknowledge, thereupon, that the devil has led them astray, and penitently confess their faults, - also Offering the Father a present to take away his sadness there at. As at Sillery, many hitherto pagan tribes are attracted by the new religion that is preached to those at Tadoussac, and many individuals go thither to receive instruction and baptism. When they return to their homes, the Father gives them a set of variously notched and colored sticks, to remind them Of their prayers and other duties.
