En Ascensione Domini
Context This text was written in Wendat by Belgian Jesuit Father Philippe Pierson (1642-1688), who came to North America in 1666. From 1673 to 1683, he lived and worked with the Wyandot community in what is now the city of St. Ignace near the tip of the Upper Peninsula, Michigan, on the shores of Lake Huron. It is the first part (Potier 1920:539) of a four-page text incorporated into the voluminous collection of copying, editing, and writing of a…
Forty Narratives in the Wyandot Language
In 1911-1912, anthropologist Marius Barbeau spent a year recording forty texts in the Wyandot language as spoken by native speakers in Oklahoma. Though he intended to return and complete his linguistic study, he never did. More than a century later, this book continues Barbeau's work

This article attempts to take a new approach towards understanding the interaction between missionaries and Amerindians. Rather than relying on the usual sources written in European languages for a non-Native audience, the author depends primarily on two works written in Huron by French Jesuits during the seventeenth century. Analysis focuses on the Jesuits' use of two Iroquoian cultural models, the warrior and matrilineal lineage complexes, and …
