The central mission headquarters was established in 1639 and by the mid-1640s, the Jesuits had initiated 12 missions in surrounding Huron, Algonkian and Petun villages Priests were assigned to each village and these Frenchmen spent the fall, winter and spring living with the Natives and teaching them about the way of the Cross. Christmas was undoubtedly a very special religious celebration for the Jesuits and their Christian converts. Christmas was probably celebrated at Sainte-Marie as well as in the various mission villages. i ! i | | i | I | ! i [ I | I ! | | I | | | | I | | | | | | ! | | | | | !

Gift-giving was a major part of the Huron culture throughout the year. Corn, fish and. fur were often given to neighbours, including the Jesuit fathers. It was a sign of friendship. The Jesuits also gave presents to the Native people in an attempt to secure their friendship. In order to Christianize, the Jesuits had to first secure the interest of the Native peoples. Iron axes, pots and blankets were a few of the items used to accomplish this task. We are not sure if Christmas was an occasion for large exchanges of gifts, however, charisma of the season enkindled the hearts of all the Jesuits in Huronia. as well as to assist in maintaining the tri- municipal airport in Tiny Township. To this end, Midland council, Monday night, approved a bylaw that will allow the airport commission to enter into an agreement with the MOT to receive such funds.
