Jesuits

The first missionaries of the order, Lalemant, Masse, and

Brebeuf, arrived in Canada in 1625. Work among the Algonquians began

that year; and among the Hurons in 1626. The mission to the Iroquois

dates from 1642. With the Iroquois mission are particularly associated

the names of Jogues, Le Moyne, Ragueneau, Fremin, and De Carheil; and

with the mission to the Hurons, those of Brebeuf, Lalemant, Chabanel,

Garnier, and Ch umonot. See also under names of individual
