This book delves into the fascinating world of the Montagnais people, a nomadic Native American tribe that once inhabited the vast expanse of the St. Lawrence River valley. The author takes readers on a journey through time, exploring the tribe's origins, their rich traditions, and their encounters with European explorers and missionaries. From the bustling village of Hochelaga, which Cartier discovered in the 16th century, to the harsh realities of the Montagnais' nomadic life and their interactions with the French Jesuits, the book paints a vivid picture of this unique culture. The author examines the Montagnais' intricate belief system, their reliance on conjurors, and their unique customs. He sheds light on their complex relationship with other indigenous tribes, including the powerful Iroquois and the enigmatic Esquimaux, and explores the impact of European influence on their way of life. Throughout the book, readers will gain a nuanced understanding of the challenges faced by the Montagnais as they navigated a changing world, struggling to maintain their traditions in the face of encroaching European settlements. This book offers a valuable insight into the history of the Montagnais people, a testament to the resilience and adaptability of a tribe that has survived for centuries in the face of adversity.
