Join Jean-François Lozier for a lecture on the subject of his book, Flesh Reborn: The Saint Lawrence Valley Mission Settlements through the Seventeenth Century. The event will be held in the Thompson Room at the North Simcoe Recreation Centre in Midland, ON.
Drawing on a range of ethnohistorical sources, Flesh Reborn reconstructs the early history of seventeenth-century mission settlements and of their Algonquin, Innu, Wendat, Iroquois, and Wabanaki founders. Far from straightforward byproducts of colonialist ambitions, these communities arose out of an entanglement of armed conflict, diplomacy, migration, subsistence patterns, religion, kinship, leadership, community-building, and identity formation. The violence and trauma of war, even as it tore populations apart and from their ancestral lands, brought together a great human diversity.
Jean-François Lozier teaches history at the University of Ottawa and is a curator at the Canadian Museum of History.
