The Jesuit Relations and Allied Documents, Vol. 2: Acadia, 1612-1614 by Thwaites

"The Jesuit Relations and Allied Documents, Vol. 2: Acadia, 1612-1614 by Thwaites" is a historical document collection written between 1632 and 1673. These chronicles record French Jesuit missionaries' efforts to convert Indigenous peoples in New France, including the Huron, Mohawk, and Miꞌkmaq. Originally annual reports sent to superiors, they were edited and published to attract settlers and raise funds. The Relations offer invaluable glimpses into Indigenous-European encounters, though scholars debate their accuracy given their promotional purpose and editorial manipulation by Jesuit authorities in France.
