| Summary | "The Jesuit Relations and Allied Documents, Vol. 7: Quebec, Hurons, Cape Breton" edited by Reuben Gold Thwaites is a historical account that was compiled in the late 19th century. This volume focuses on the travels and explorations of the Jesuit missionaries in New France, specifically covering the years 1634-1635 and documenting their experiences with Indigenous peoples such as the Huron and Montagnais. The text provides insightful details about missionary activities, their interactions with the local tribes, cultural observations, and the challenges they faced during their missions. The opening portion of this volume sets up a detailed exploration of the lives of the Montagnais people, as narrated by Paul le Jeune, a Jesuit missionary. Le Jeune describes the clothing, ornaments, and lifestyle of the Montagnais, discussing their lack of abstract language and their focus on survival in harsh physical conditions. He recounts his struggles with learning their language and the various obstacles he faced during his mission, including the malice of a local medicine man and his own health issues. Overall, the opening provides a vivid depiction of the challenges of cross-cultural engagement and the resilience of both the missionaries and Indigenous people in the unyielding environment of New France.
