The individual and cultural upheavals of early colonial New France
were experienced differently by French explorers and settlers, and
by Native traditionalists and Catholic converts. However, European
invaders and indigenous people alike learned to negotiate the
complexities of cross-cultural encounters by reimagining the
meaning of kinship. Part micro-history, part biography, Religion,
Gender, and Kinship in Colonial New France explores the lives of
Etienne Brule, Joseph Chihoatenhwa, Therese Oionhaton, and Marie
Rollet Hebert as they created new religious orientations in order
to survive the challenges of early seventeenth-century New France.
Poirier examines how each successfully adapted their religious and
cultural identities to their surroundings, enabling them to develop
crucial relationships and build communities. Through the lens of
these men and women, both Native and French, Poirier illuminates
the historical process and powerfully illustrates the religious
creativity inherent in relationship-building.
