タイムライン

  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:42

    Champlain and his small group of Frenchmen enter a complex world ruled by the native peoples of Canada, who are willing to tolerate the newcomers as long as they are beneficial. The Montagne and Algonquin tribes have been trading with the French for over ten years and ally with the Huron near the Great Lakes, controlling the territory north of the St. Lawrence River. In contrast, the Iroquois, a confederation of five nations and traditional enemies of the Montagne and Algonquin, are currently excluded from this trade. In 1609, Champlain realizes that trade in North America requires military alliances and, after being introduced to Huron Chief Ucha Tagwan, he agrees to join them in a war against the Iroquois. After a night of celebration and preparation, Champlain participates in the battle, successfully killing two Iroquois chiefs with his firearm, which leads to a retreat of the Iroquois. This battle solidifies Champlain's alliance with the Huron and Algonquin, but it also makes the Iroquois his enemies for many years to come.

    would see such deeds of
  • 00:02:49
    arms as they had never seen
  • 00:03:04
    our indians told me that those who had
  • 00:03:07
    the big headdresses
  • 00:03:09
    were the chiefs and that there were only
  • 00:03:12

  • 00:03:15
    feathers which were larger
  • 00:03:17
    than those of their companions i
  • 00:03:20
    was to do what i could to kill them
  • 00:03:27
    our indians called me with loud cries
  • 00:03:32
    they divided into two groups made way
  • 00:03:35
    for me
  • 00:03:36
    and put me ahead as soon as they caught
  • 00:03:38
    sight of me
  • 00:03:39
    halted and stared at me when i saw them
  • 00:03:42
    make a move to draw their bows upon us
  • 00:03:45
    i took aim with my arc abuse and fired
  • 00:03:49
    straight
  • 00:03:50
    at one of the three chiefs
  • 00:03:55
    i had put four bullets into my arc abuse
  • 00:04:00
    as soon as our people saw this shot so
  • 00:04:03
    favorable for them
  • 00:04:04
    they began to shout loudly meanwhile
  • 00:04:08
    the arrows flew thick on both sides
  • 00:04:15
    the iroquois were much astonished
  • 00:04:18
    that two men should have been killed so
  • 00:04:21
    quickly
  • 00:04:22
    this frightened them greatly
  • 00:04:26
    as i was reloading my arc abuse one of
  • 00:04:29
    my companions
  • 00:04:30
    fired a shot
  • 00:04:36
    seeing their chiefs dead
  • 00:04:39
    they lost courage and took flight
  • 00:04:43
    into the depth of the forest

    separated with great declarations of
  • 00:04:59
    mutual friendship
  • 00:05:02
    they asked me if i would not go to their
