A15, marking the site of Fort Sainte Marie II, where the Hurons of the middle seventeenth century made their last stand, Dr. J. H. `Coyne, LL.D., F.R.S.C., gave the address and per- formed the unveiling. In the course of his ' address he said: "On this historic spot, our thoughts. go back three hundred years To `old forgotten, far-off things, And battles long ago. .' For these ruined walls and bastione are all that remains to mark the last scene in a long tragedy of Indian warfare. Here the Huron nation made its last stand againstl lits victorious toe, the Five Nations of-"the * Iroquois. From this spot a small remnant made its toilsome way to its final home near Quebec. Here`, the Huron nation ceased to `exist. Here the heroic missionaries` of the Society of Jesus reluctantly forsook the stage of their long struggle to christiainize the region now known as Old Ontario. Their hopes had yielded to despair. Their people had been killed or dispersed in flight. Among `the slain were" several of the most devoted 'and distinguished` missionaries. Their bodies were buried in peace, but their name liveth for evermore." -- u u. - `AAA `A At $1000--I have a very ne cot tag'e. At $1400~-Cottage. well located. , !

For nearly a cen- tury and a half afterward, whatis now the Province of Ontario, south of the Frenchl River was practically uninhabited. _ When the settlement of" Upper Canada began, as -a result of the American Revolution, it was i [virtually a -virgin territory. which the United Empire Loyalists and British Pioneers were ; invited to occupy.- Upper Canada is a British aprovince largely because of the events which |took place on this spot nearly three centur- ies ago. Had the fate of Indian warfare lgone the other way; had the Iroquois been .the conquered race and the Huron-Algon- iquin -allies of the French possessed them- ;selves of the Iroquois territory soutlgof Lake :Ontario. the destiny of Canada might have {been far different.

' E L Orange was a dominating factor in the = struggle between them and the Hurons. = The possession of guns and powder gave the Iroquois an enormous advantage over i all other tribes. vThe establishment of a ` F rench~Missi on on the Georgian Bay threat- ened to divert the trade more largely to Montreal and Three `Rivers. The Iroquois determnied to destroy the native nations. between them and Lake Superior and tire Mississippi_and to `monopolise [the-Western trade. The Hurons, a sedentary and agri- cultural people, settled in villages between Notrawasaga Bay and Lake Simcoe, number- ged tens of thousands- The population was - perhaps as great` as the white population is today. corn. squashes and tobacco which they trad- ed with their friends and neighbors. the Algonquins of the North, for fish and veni- son. Westward were the villages of the Petun or Tobacco Nation. cultivating tobac- co on the slopes of the BlueAMountains. North of Lake Erie dwelt. the kindred Neu- tral Nation. Iroquois invaders in large bod- igs had made theirway from the Genesee to the Orillia Narrows -and across into the country of the Hurons. They destroyed villages. massacred the inhabitants and` spread everywhere the tfrror of their name. The region south and east of Georgian Bay had been devastated and depopulated. Un- able to plant their crops. the trembling sur- vivors were threatened with famine. Thou- Isands of Hurons had fled for`refuge to the Petun and Neutrals, others to the Eriesl and Andastes far to the south. Thousands- in frantic flight were dispersed among thel islands or rocky shores of Georgian Bay] and Lake Huron. -Hundreds had ceased` to struggle, and, making terms with the enemy, had been carried away as captives. and incorporated with the Seneca Nation" in the State of New York.

The missionaries were illi despair. Hope had deserted themp They: decided to transfer the mission .to the Mun-H itoulin. This plan was ahzind_one(l on the- eurnest prayer of the natives. The Huronsi lhnd held.:\ eouneil and named twelve chiefs` as amlmssndors to confer with Father Paul] Rageiteau. Superior of the Mission. The in-, lterview wus prolonged for three hours. They. [begged the fathers to establish a new settle-` nient here on St. Joseph Island where" 300 lfumilies had ,nlreatl_v taken refuge.

A raft of timbers fifty or sixty feet long was put together. Upon this and a boat, hastily constructed, they embarked with all their portable pos- sessions on the 14th of June, 1649, near sunset. They rowed and propelled as best they could all night. Progress was slow. Fortunately the weather wzt fair. the water calm. But it took several days of labor- ious navigation to reach their destination twenty miles away. . - Tho :clonrl ;\n \Ivl\;lI`\ 1:-n nu-n lvlofhinv-hr` :5 IIIVVVIIIIJ lllllc awn : The island on which we are gathered is one of a group of three called the _Christian Islands. They are-known as Faith. Hope and Charity, `but the greatest of these is Charity.` The two others are insignificant in comparison. The Hurons called it Aho- endoe. the Fathers, St. Joseph. but they named the settlement and mission Fort Ste. Marie. They brought. with them. `ten fowls. a pair of swine. two bulls. the same number of cows--enough doubtless to preserve their kind. We have one years supply of Indian corn; the rest has been used-for Christiani charity.` So writes the Superior. Fatheri Ragueneau. They had to clear the ground, ` to put in crops. Their clothing was mostlyi skins of animals. The forest never touched by the axe since the creat-ion. had to be cleared away. A wooden palisade was er- ected. Within was the bastioned stone fort. It remains. you" see. Its walls were about 12 feet high. A deep ditch surrounded it. Within were a small chapel_.,houses for lodging. and a well. The measurement be- tween the angles of the two southern bas- tions is 123 feet. and that of the curtain . Detached redoubts were built near at hand where French niusketeers could aid in de- .fending the adjacent Huron village. The . Hurons. aided by French soldiers, built for `themselves a rough - foification within =bastions. ' i `ll_,,_._,,LEI, AL, `I,,,,,,,' I ' I` wall connecting these bast-ions is 78 feet.` ' uaauuua. Meanwhile the Iroquois were busiedon the mainland in lying in wait for stragglers -or pursuing the frightened fugitives. To- !wards winter refugem to the number of six ll)!` eight thousand weregathered near where we stand in every stage 'of misery and star- vation. Living as best they could on acorns and roots they dragged themselves from `house to house like living skeletons. The ;horrons of cannibalism ensued. Disease added its'ravages to those of famine. About `half their number perished before the dreary iwinter ended. Meanwhilethe devoted priests exerted themselves to lessen their miseries land to fortify their souls for death. `The lchapel bell was rung every morning and the: lnatiives flocked to the service. Ten or] twelve times the little chapel was` filledl .until all had their turn. Food was care?! ;fully rationed. Scraps of hide, stampedj `with a special mark. were distributed tol .the most necessitous entitling- them to ai few acorns. a portion ofboilerl corn. or al gbit of smoked fish. Two hours before sun-l. `set; the bell_of the` chapel was again rung land the .reltgious exercise of the morning .was repeated. And so the weary winter `wore on. _ ~ I The fate of the Tobacco Nation was seal-E `ed that winter. Their mission villages were burned. their people killed or dispers- .ed. Of the missionaries. Fathers Charles, `Garnier and Noel (`habaizel had joined the} ' noble army of martyrs. in which the lleroici Jean de Brebeouf. Gabriel I.-aleinant. An- gtoine Daniel had already been enrolled. l nu 1' I 1 1 I I -U`-V` ` V... `-- The Iroquois scalpin g'parties had heenl reinforced by fresli war parties from that Genesee country.

Two of the principal chiefs were appointed to wait on Father Ragueneau and beg him to take them to Quebec to the protect-ion of !he 1' rench guns. `Death has taken from you more than ten thousand of us.` said one of the chiefs to Raguenenu. The_ missionaries acquiesced and on the 10th day of June. 1659. four days less than a year tram the destruction and abandonment of Fort Ste. Mariel on the Wye. tliey took their last farewell of the mi$ion begun by-Father Brebeouf in 1626. reinstituted by him in 1634 and car- ried on amidst privation. misery and ar- duous labor, crowned wth scanty success for sixteen -years. About sixty Frenchmen and three h`indred Hurons accompanied the missionaries to Quebec. The mission to Huronia was at an end. The fleet of can- oes held its melancholy way `along the shores. where two- years before had been! the `seat of one of the.chief'sava2e com- munities of the continent. and where all now was a waste and desolation. Then they steered northward. along the eastern coast of the Georgian Bay with its countless. rocky isles: and everywhere they'saw_ traces of the Iroquois. When they reached Lake Nip- iwing. they found it deserted--nothing re- mained of the Algonquins who dwelt on we shore except the ashes of their burnt wig- wan;s.---The River Ottawa was a solitude.- The Algonquins of Allumette Island and the shores adjaet'.-:it had all been killed or driven away. never again to return.

The Iroquois built themselves a fort on the islandof felled trees and another on the mainland. The war went on with varying success. 'l`emporary victories buoyed for a time the hopes of the Hurons and the Iro-' quois fled. home in panic, only to return and renew their harassing attacks. At last, the Hurons gave up the struggle as hope-_ less.` Four hundred of them. in the year 1651. followed the first body to Quebec and Fort Ste. Marie II ceased to be occupied. It remained intact, except for the ravages of time, until a few years ago. The Hon- orable Minister of the Interior. on the ad- vice of the Historic Sites and Monuinents Board of Canada, has restored` the fort as far as the scattered materials on the ground permitted.

In the making of Canada, Indians, F renchi and British have successively done their` part. The Hurons and Algonquins of Geor- gian Bay. allying themselves with the French where more than three hundred years ago gave them the priority in discov- ery and exploraton of the North American continent north of the Gulf and west of the Alleghanies. Algonquin guides and the Ojibway language enabled them to pass fr l.y from tribe to tribe. from the Atlantic to e Rocky Mountains, and from Lake Superior to the mouth of the Mississippi.
