<p><i>Copie d'ven Lettre escrite par Le Père Jacques Bigot de La Compagnie de Jésus l'an 1684</i> offers a rare glimpse into the missionary work of the Jesuit order in New France during the 17th century. Penned by Father Jacques Bigot this letter recounts his experiences and observations among the Abnaquis people at the Mission de Sainct François de Sales. The letter written to accompany a gift of a porcelain collar sent by the Abnaquis to the tomb of their patron saint provides valuable insights into the interactions between European missionaries and Indigenous communities. This historical document sheds light on the religious cultural and social dynamics of colonial Canada offering a poignant narrative of faith cultural exchange and the challenges faced by both missionaries and the native population. It is a valuable resource for understanding the complex history of early Canada and the enduring legacy of the Jesuit missions.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
