He was also really interested in the languages, so he wanted to master the language of the Algonquin peoples which was the Huron language. Before he set sail for the Huron mission, he was a high school and a college teacher. However, he fell very ill during his 2nd year of being a college teacher, so he stayed in the College of Rouen. The way he got chosen for the Huron mission was by the government of France but more specifically by Pierre Coton Bibliography n/a Associated Course Select the course for which this item is created, if applicable.

Title A name given to the resource De Brebeuf, Jean (missionary in Huron, Ontario) Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1617-1640 Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Rouen France; Quebec Description An account of the resource Some of the work Brebeuf did in the Huron region included setting up an alliance that had New France and the Hurons join forces, mastered the Huron language as well as unsuccessfully lead the Hurons during an epidemic. Firstly, setting up that New France-Huron alliance was key for both sides because it allowed for trading essential goods to be easier and since Brebeuf was already a part of New France, it made it to be a more relaxing decision for them to join forces. Secondly, in addition to creating the alliance between New France and the Hurons, mastering the language is something important Brebeuf did, and he mastered it since he grew up in one of the Huron tribes. Finally, he unsuccessfully led the Hurons through the smallpox epidemic where they lost around 30,000 people to the virus that came over from Europe. All in all, Jean De Brebeuf was a good leader in that creating the alliance was massive for New France.
