[73] Gabriel Marest, S. J., who came to Canada in 1694 and died at the Kaskaskia Mission, September 15, 1714. Practically his whole life was spent among the Kaskaskia Indians of Illinois, once the leading tribe of the Illinois Confederacy, and he taught among them continually. [74] “This does not accord with the general tradition that the Dakota were always enemies of the Sioux, nevertheless the name Nadoessi Mascouteins seems to have been applied to the Iowa by the earlier missionaries because of their relations for a time with the Sioux.” Cyrus Thomas, BULL. 30, B. A. E., 1907. [75] This statement is wholly without foundation. Iberville was the third son of a burgher of Dieppe one Charles Le Moyne, father of fourteen children, who migrated from his native country to Canada in 1640, at which place he joined the Jesuits. Sieur d’ Bienville together with his brother were leaders in that conflict with the English in the Hudson Bay region (see Winsor, NARRATIVE AND CRITICAL HISTORY, Vol. IV), and it is not exaggeration to term Pierre le Moyne, Sieur d’Iberville, as one of the most noted Canadian naval officers of his time. His death occurred from yellow fever, July 9, 1706, at Havana. _Cf._ THE FIRST GREAT CANADIAN. By Charles B. Reed, Chic., 1910; also WIS. HIST. COLL., Vol. XVI. Certain writers affirm the relations between Sauvole and the others here mentioned, notably Gayarre, in his HISTORY OF LOUISIANA, Vol. I, page 58. Later authorities, however, as Hamilton, COLONIAL MOBILE, page 32, take opposite views. See note 51 for a sketch of Le Sueur. [76] Gen. Lewis Cass, on his return from France in 1842, brought certain French manuscripts among which was a census of Indian tribes, compiled by one M. Chauvignerie. Schoolcraft gives this in full in his monumental work on the Indians of North America. (Vol. III, pages 553-557). [77] There is no authority for this statement. See note 50. Le Sueur came to Canada as a young man and became a fur trader. During 1693 and for a few years thereafter he was commandant at Chequamegon and discovering lead mines on the upper Mississippi he made efforts to secure permission to work them, but without success. Little is known of his last years and his death occurred while on the ocean, probably before 1710. [78] It is doubtful that Le Sueur gave assistance as here stated.
