    In 1673, Father Jacques Marquette, a Jesuit missionary, and Louis Joliet, a fur trader, undertook an expedition to explore the unsettled territory in North America from the Great Lakes region to the Gulf of Mexico for the colonial power of France. Leaving with several men in two bark canoes, Marquette and Joliet entered the Mississippi River and arrived in present-day Arkansas in June 1673. They were considered the first Europeans to come into contact with the Indians of east Arkansas since Hernando de Soto’s expedition in the 1540s. The goal given Marquette, Joliet, and their men was to document, for French and Canadian officials, an area that had been largely unknown until the late seventeenth century.…

    Religion in New France

    When the earliest French explorers arrived, they brought with them the idea they would convert all native to the land to Catholicism. On Jacques Cartier’s first voyage in 1534, he claimed the territory and raised a cross bearing the words “long live the king of France”. This forward and random approach at a new religion sent the Aboriginals into an upheaval. The French believed it was important for all to convert, so there would be no religious differences, therefore, no reason for war or conflict. In 1541-42, Cartier established a colony at the mouth of the Riviere du Cap-Rouge near Stadacona. He named this colony Charlesbourg-Royal. A fur trade was established with the Aboriginals, creating a strong…

    The Huron nation and the Iroquois were closely related to each other until they became great enemies. The Huron nation is made up of great traders, navigator’s, farmers and was very prosperous.

Fishing in this region was excellent, vegetation included: mixed forests, meadows, and fields. Sandy soil was perfect for planting: corn, squash, pumpkins, and beans.

    The division of Nova Scotia to create the province of New Brunswick in 1784 set forth a wave of migrating Loyalists to settle this new province. Many of them settled on the ruins of abandoned Acadian villages where many Acadians had settled their families. After the destruction of the “Pointe-Saint-Anne” village in the winter of 1759 by Lieutenant Moses Hazen and a group of rangers, where he was only able to capture three of its families, many of the Acadians were able to flee the village. Some of these Acadians fled west and settled near the Malecite village of Ekoupahag. Afterwards, many other Acadians started to settle nearby, and some settled at what became French Village. One of the pioneers of the French Village was Jacques Daniel Godin who was the grandchild of Gabriel Godin who was one of the founders of the Acadian village of “Pointe-Saint-Anne”.1…
