More Details

Summary:

"From the bestselling author of Bush Runner: The Adventures of Pierre Esprit-Radisson A biography of Jesuit missionary Jean de Brébeuf and a history of the colonization of Huronia, the home of the Huron-Wendat nation, Crosses in the Sky is the story of how and why the Jesuits came to "New France," what happened when they arrived, and how these early encounters have shaped settler relationships with Indigenous people to this day. Departing from existing sainthood narratives of Brébeuf, this deeply researched narrative considers not only the missionary's fate, but the ongoing tragedy of his colonial legacy and is an essential addition to--and expansion of--Canadian history."-- [Provided by publisher]
