() rought Jesuits came 800 miles by canoe to set up post at Ste. Marie Midland Eight- hundred miles by canoe through the interior of nada from '"Kebec" Jesuit missionaries to Sainte- Marie among the Hurons, the first European community in what is now Ontario. Sainte-Marie was the central residence of the Jesuits' Christian mission to the native Huron Indians, and from 1639 to 1649 was a cornerstone of European culture isolated in the New France wilderness. Living with the Huron people in longhouse villages, the Jesuits founded 12 missions in the communities surrounding Sainte-Marie. During the long winters, when the Huron men were at home the Jesuits taught the Christian gospel. As summer came, and the men left the villages on hunting trips, the missionaries returned to Sainte-Marie to rest, reflect, make their reports and talk with others of their own culture. At ~its peak, Sainte- Marie housed 64 Fren- chmen, one-fifth the European population of New France. A doctor, stone mason, builder blacksmith, carpenter, cook and lay-brothers brought their skills to Sainte-Marie. By 1649, 22 » buildings had been constructed including a hospital to treat natives stricken by European diseases such as influenza and chicken pox. The high death rate resulting from these diseases led the Huron people into mistrusting the Jesuits and fearing they were devils who had come to destroy the Huron people. - vw aoe wat i 58 ¥ PN {J ; AYE y ( iL AEP ALL PRICES SHOWN IN THIS AD GUARANTEED EFFECTIVE THROUGH SATURDAY, JULY 2ND, 1977.

The French position at Sainte-Marie was perilous and they decided to flee with surviving native converts to St. Joseph's Island, now Christian Island in Georgian Bay. Considering Sainte- Marie to be holy ground and fearing it would be desecrated by the Iroquois, the Jesuits burned Sainte-Marie to the ground. For the next 300 years the mission lay buried. Excavations undertaken in the late 1940's began to uncover the ruins and in 1964 reconstruction sponsored by the Ontario government brought Sainte-Marie back to life. Today, a reconstruction of Sainte-Marie among the Hurons on the original site east of Midland offers. visitors an historical trip back to the 17th century.
