Millet Pierre 1635-1708 Born At Bourges France Came To Canada


1667; sent to the Onondaga mission the following year; and in 1672 to

Oneida, where he remained until 1686, labouring with characteristic

devotion among his savage flock. Met Denonville at Cataraqui in 1686,

and, as a result of the governor's expedition against the Iroquois,

unjustly suspected by the Oneidas of being implicated. Captured by a

war-party at Cataraqui, in 1689, and carried back to Oneida as a

prisoner. The Oneidas threatened to kill him, but he was finally

released, and adopted into the tribe. Remained at Oneida until 1694,

when he returned to Quebec, where he spent his latter years. =Index=:
