Events

  • 1649-64: the Beaver Wars: Encouraged by the English, and the need for more beaver for trade (their own area being hunted out), Haudenosee (Iroquois) make war on Hurons (1649), Tobaccos (1649), Neutrals (1650–51), Erie (1653–56), Ottawa (1660), Illinois and Miami (1680–84), and members of the Mahican confederation. English, pleased with this, agree to Two-Row Wampum Peace treaty, 1680. [1] [2]
  • 1650-53: Huron survivors of the Beaver Wars settle at Lorette under French protection. [3]
  • 1652: Massachusetts General Court licenses traders going from Massachusetts to Acadia. [4]
  • 1653 Marguerite Bourgeoys (Born Troyes, France 17 April 1620 Died 12 January 1700) the first school teacher in Montreal, arrives from France. [5]

  • 1654-59: Pierre-Esprit Radisson, French Sieur de Groselliers, encounters many tribes throughout New France, New England, and what is now the U.S. Midwest. Adopted by a Mohawk family, who take him to Hudson Bay, there he changes sides and becomes English, participates in the formation of Hudson's Bay Company, and charter of Rupert's Land to it in 1670, deftly switching country allegiances several times France-England-France-England during the process. Ends up English. Today principally remembered by a hotel named after him in Minneapolis. [8][9]
  • 1655 Étienne Bouchard, a surgeon, begins a successful private medical practice in Ville-Marie. [10]

  • 1657: Sulpicians, who run missions, come to North America.[13][14]
  • 1658 Marguerite Bourgeoys established the Congregation of Notre Dame, the first uncloistered order of nuns in North America. [15]
