212 LES RELA TIONS DES f^S UITES [Vol. 40
de la terre, feroient bien-toft S, fee, fi leurs eaux s'ef- coulans dans la Mer, les fources n*en fourniffoient plus de nouuelles. Les Villes, & les Prouinces plus proches de la Mer, qui en auroient eft6 autrefois les plus richement arrouf^es, auroient tort de f e plaindre, des Prouinces plus voifines des fources, comme fi elles retenoient toutes les eaux pour elles, &les enuoyoient au public.
Ce font les Iroquois, dont il fe faut plaindre: car ce font eux, qui ont arrefte les eaux dedans leurs fources. Ie veux dire, que ce font eux qui empef- chent tout le commerce [149] des Caftors, qui ont toujours eft6 les grandes richeffes de ce pays.
Mais maintenant, fi Dieu benit nos efperances, de la paix auec les Iroquois, on fera bonne guerre aux Caftors, & ils trouueront le chemin des magafins de Montreal, des Trois Riuieres, & de Quebec, qu'ils ont oubli6 depuis ces dernieres ann6es. Les Nations fuperieures defcendront auec ioye, & apporteront les Caftors, dont ils ont fait amas depuis trois ans.
Ce Printemps, trois canots arriuerent aux Trois Riuieres, de I'ancien pays des Hurons, ou plutoft du profond des terres, les plus cach6es de ces coftez-lk: oil diuerfes families fe font retirees hors le commerce de tout le refte des hommes, crainte que les Iroquois [150] ne les y allaffent trouuer.
Ces trois canots, conduits par vn Sauuage Chre- ftien, eftoient de quatre Nations differentes, qui nous ont apport6 d'excellentes nouuelles.

| Description | These three short excerpts from the Jesuit Relations convey the terror and violence that drove the Huron, Ottawa, Sauk, Meskwaki (Fox), Kickapoo, Potawatomi, and other tribes into Wisconsin. They are taken from the annual "Relation of Things That Have Happened in New France" sent back to Paris each year by the head of the Jesuit missions in North America. Between 1896 and 1901, more than 70 volumes of these Jesuit Relations were edited in Madison and published in French and English. The English text of all volumes is online at Creighton University (linked elsehwere on the Turning Points site), where you can find immense detail about Wisconsin Indians at the time of their first contact with Europeans. To see what original volumes of Jesuit Relations looked like, see the letters written by Fr. Rene Menard in 1661, elsewhere on the Turning Points site. |
