  Gabriel Sagard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sagard travelled to a Huron village on the southern shore of Lake Huron in August where he began his missionary work and study of the Huron language.
Some time around 1636, Sagard left the Recollect order and may have died living with the Franciscans.
Sagard is remembered for his writings on New France and the Hurons - Le grand voyage au pays des Hurons (Paris, 1632), L'histoire du Canada (1636), which includes a revised and expanded Le grand voyage, and Dictionnaire de la langue huronne.

SAGARD, GABRIEL (christened Théodat), Recollet friar, missionary in the Huron country in 1623 and 1624, first religious historian of Canada; fl.
Sagard draws upon the experience of interpreters, and upon that of his missionary associates, among them Father Le Caron, the author of a Huron dictionary now lost.
We must not forget the period when Sagard was writing, a period when a fervour not firmly established lent too ready credence to spells and interventions by the devil.

 Skunk - LoveToKnow 1911
SKUNK (probably derived from " Seecawk," the Cree name for the skunk; another form given is " seganku "), an evilsmelling North American carnivorous mammal.
Its existence was first notified to European naturalists in 1636, in Gabriel Sagard-Theodat's History of Canada, where, in commencing his account, he describes it as " enfans du diable, que les Hurons appelle Scangaresse,.
This shows in what reputation the skunk was then held, a reputation which has become so notorious that the mere name of skunk is one of opprobrium.

 American Journeys Background on The Long Journey to the Country of the Hurons [excerpt]
Sagard went to Lake Huron, where he spent most of the next twelve months with the Hurons at their village called Ossossane, on the southern shore of Georgian Bay near present-day Collingwood, Ontario.
Sagard kept meticulous notes on all that he saw and did, and his observations of Huron life form one of the most comprehensive written records of their culture in the early years of white contact.
The full text of Sagard’s account of his stay with the Hurons is available from the Champlain Society at http://www.champlainsociety.ca/cs_bibliography.htm along with many other excellent volumes that they have published.

 France in America -- La France en Amérique
Gabriel Sagard was a lay Recollet brother who lived among the Huron Indians in the years 1623-24 before returning to France soon thereafter.
In 1632 Sagard published Le grand voyage du pays des Hurons, in which he offered rich ethnographic evidence on the Hurons, who were at the time France’s principal Indian allies.
Le frère récollet Gabriel Sagard a vécu parmi les Hurons en 1623-1624 ; en 1632 il publie son Grand voyage du pays des Hurons, où il livre un témoignage ethnographique d’une grande richesse sur ces Indiens, les principaux alliés des Français à l’époque.

 Sagard (1623-1624)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Gabriel Sagard, a Récollet missionary and an ethnographer and lexicographer before his time, visited New France only on a round trip, as it were.
published in 1632, Sagard relates the circumstances of his visit to America, studies the mores and customs of the Huron, and describes the fauna and flora of the country.
Despite its imperfections, this dictionary was at the time the most comprehensive work done on a Native North American language; moreover, it still remains today the most complete compendium of the ancient Huron language.

The early French records, then, are more of a composite of reports given to them by their Indian allies, populations which are noted by Sagard (1939) to have had their own interests, both political and economic, in monopolizing access to both the French and the fur trade.
Men such as Perrot, Sagard, La Potherie, and Champlain were all conditioned by their own culture, a culture that maintained distinct ideas about what proper forms of behavior and belief were.
Sagard (1939), for instance, notes that knowledge of the Huron language is valuable because the language is understood by other Indian groups, including the Tobacco, Neutral, and Puans, or Winnebago, and could be used as sort of a lingua franca.

 Gabriel Sagard-Theodat
He was in a Recollet Franciscan convent in Paris in 1615 when Houel, the secretary of Louis XIII., asked the superior of that order to send missionaries to Canada.
Sagard entreated to be sent on the mission, but he was not allowed to leave France until eight years afterward.
The works of Sagard were very little known until recently.

 Etienne Brule's discovery of Lake Superior - Wisconsin Historical Society
The first is a handful of scattered references in a book written by Sagard a few years after Brule's death, given here in their entirety in French and English.
The other is a reasonably accurate depiction of Lake Superior on a map published in 1632 by Champlain (given elsewhere in Turning Points), who had himself never set foot near the lake; many scholars assume its information came from Champlain's protege Brule.
Unfortunately Sagard's mentions of what Brule saw are tantalizingly few and very vague, and the distances he stated are wildly impossible, so scholars have been reluctant to say Brule reached Wisconsin before Nicolet.

Next is the French-Wendat phrase book of Recollect Brother Gabriel Sagard, based both on his own work with the Huron in 1623-24 and on that of at least one person who came before him (Sagard 1866).
In Sagard's dictionary we find around one hundred entries with -tr-, and no sign of a -kr-, which can be considered indirect evidence that -tr- was both a Rock and a Southern Bear form.
We cannot conclude from this that it was the Northern Bear who joined the Mohawk One reason for this is that Ennons, the leader of the Bear clan of the Wyandot during the 1 740s, appears to have the same name as Aennons, the principal leader of the Northern Bear during the 1630s.

 Exploration and Travel Literature in French
As literature, they established subjects that later writers picked up: nomadic life in the open spaces, the St Lawrence River, the seasons and the process of settling a country.
The accounts of travel in NEW FRANCE fall into 3 somewhat overlapping categories: the investigations and explorations reported by Jacques CARTIER and Samuel de CHAMPLAIN; the more encyclopedic accounts written by Gabriel Sagard, Nicholas DENYS and the Jesuits; and the critical analyses of Louis HENNEPIN and Baron de LAHONTAN.
Sagard, whose descriptive narrative is predominantly ethnological in approach, takes a narrow but perceptive look at the Huron, pores over the details of their daily life, and attempts to draw conclusions about their sexual, religious, dietary and political practices.

In the same year, the Récollet missionary Gabriel Sagard published his own exploration narrative, the Voyage du pays des hurons, in which he seeks to demonstrate, his detailed knowledge of native populations allied with the French, even as the Récollet missionary presence was being reduced in Canada.
Like Champlain, Sagard deploys native languages in an effort to defend his missionary privilege, While Champlain's text includes a Jesuit catechism in Montagnais, Sagard prints a Huron dictionary, as if to demonstrate Récollet mastery of Huron culture.
The Jesuits deploy a narrower colonial vision than that of Sagard or Champlain, one concerned primarily with shoring up the religious foundation of the French settlement against Huguenot as well as Récollet influences.

Sagard's voyage did not contribute to the expansion of New France, but the information that he gathered from the Native peoples on far-away areas helped other voyagers.

He played an essential role in the first documented journeys of exploration in New France by going ahead of Samuel de Champlain, Gabriel Sagard, Jean Nicolet, Nicolas Perrot and others of their ilk along the route to the Great Lakes.
Here is the evidence from the writings of the Récollet (Franciscan) missionary Gabriel Sagard: "The interpreter Bruslé [sic] with several Savages assured us that beyond the Freshwater Sea [Lake Huron] there was another very large lake which empties into it by a waterfall, which has been called 'Saut de Gaston' [Gaston Falls, i.e., Sault Ste.
The Récollet friar denounced the wandering adventurer's loose morals, and disclosed moreover that Brûlé was playing a double game: he was working at the same time for the administration of New France and for the fur merchants, who were opponents of Champlain.

The old name, too, had variations—Toanchen in Sagard; Toanche, Toachim, and Teandeouiata in Father de Brebeuf.

 Canada History   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
The second edition of Gabriel Sagard's history of the Recollect missions in eastern Canada, the Histoire du Canada (1636), included an unprecedented series of harmonized settings of four previously transcribed indigenous Mi'kmaq and Tupinamba melodies.
A reading of the Histoire du Canada's content, structure, and production context demonstrates that the settings supported the apostolic aims of the text, which were rooted in the didactic ethos and methods of the French Counter-Reformation.
With the harmonized settings Sagard gestured toward the Native Americans' potential for conversion and civilization by the Recollect missionaries in a manner that was edifying for Catholic readers in France and the young colony.
