This volume focuses on the travels and explorations of Jesuit missionaries in New France, particularly in Acadia, during the early 17th century. It provides a glimpse into the early interactions between European missionaries and Indigenous peoples, detailing their experiences, challenges, and efforts to establish Christianity in the region. The opening of the work presents a variety of insights into the slow and often difficult missionary endeavors undertaken by figures like Father Pierre Biard. He chronicles not only the spiritual efforts to convert local Indigenous populations but also the cultural barriers posed by language and social practices. Biard reflects on the struggles faced in preaching to a community with different belief systems, recounting instances of baptism and the interactions with various Indigenous leaders. He emphasizes the complexities of translating spiritual concepts and the importance of understanding local customs to better connect with the people they aimed to serve, setting the stage for the rich, complex tapestry of cultural exchange that this collection will explore further.
