    Marguerite de la Rocque de Roberval: An Unjust Footnote
    2025/06/05
    Marguerite de la Rocque de Roberval's story of being marooned on an island off of Newfoundland in 1542 is something that amazes everyone who hears it but she keeps getting shunted to a footnote in the story of the early colonization of Canada.

    The Disappearance of the St. Lawrence Iroquois
    2025/05/22
    Between when Cartier and Champlain arrived in North America, the St. Lawrence Iroquois ‘disappeared’. Where did they go and why did they go? Maybe we should ask the Basques.

    Cartier and Roberval's Tag Team To Colonial Failure
    2025/05/08

    All but one of Cartier's kidnapped Stadaconans have died but he's ready to make his third voyage back to Canada. This time he's second in command to Roberval and, let's just say, they don't make a great team.

  • Always Wendat, Sometimes Huron

    Always Wendat, Sometimes Huron
    2025/03/28

    A closer look at the spirituality, cultural norms, The Feast of the Dead burial ritual, and overall society of the Wendat Confederacy. Be warned that there is some discussion of torture and somewhat graphic descriptions of how death rituals were carried out.


    For further reading:

    Dispersed But Not Destroyed by Kathryn Magee Labelle

    If you really want to go deep into the history of the Wendat people, you can read The Children of Aataentsic: A History of the Huron People to 1660 by Bruce G. Trigger. It also works as a doorstop when you finish with it. It is great, but a huge book.
