Person An individual. Birth Date 1641 CE Birthplace Rouen, France Death Date 1710 CE Place of Death Montreal, Canada Occupation Instructor; Missionary; Chaplain Languages Spoken or Written French; Mohawk; Onondaga Biographical Text Jacques De Lamberville (1641-1710) became a Jesuit at the age of 20 and taught for many colleges for the Society of Jesus in France, until he was 34, when he became a missionary and headed to Canada. Lamberville arrived at Gandaouagué, a Mohawk settlement founded after the destruction of another settlement Ossernenon in 1666 during a war with the French. The Mohawks lost the war, and one of the conditions of surrender was to accept Jesuit missionaries like Lamberville. Lamberville stayed with the Mohawks for several years, converting many despite some difficulties and disputes with the Mohawks. He was known for his great piety and his frequent self-abnegation. Following his death, miracles were alleged to have occurred to those who merely touched his previous possessions. Associated Course Select the course for which this item is created, if applicable.

During his time, he converted more than 100 people, including Kateri Tekakwitha, the first North American Aboriginal person to be elevated to Sainthood. Tekakwitha’s enthusiastic conversion was controversial, garnering her persecution and death threats. Sensing the danger, Lamberville secretly sent her with other converts to St. Francis Xavier Mission at Sault St. Louis, several hundred kilometers away. Lamberts time among the Mohawks was difficult. He was once almost murdered by a drunken warrior one night, but survived due to the midnight darkness, and the drunkenness of his assailant. Despite some difficulties, Jacques managed to maintain good relations with the Mohawk People. Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived C. J.
