Description
Lorette, full name Notre-Dame de la Jeune Lorette, is a Huron village on the St. Charles River, eight miles north-west of Quebec. In 1908 it held 474 souls, the chief remnant of the ancient Hurons, while related Wyandot lived in Ontario and Oklahoma.
Iroquois raids scattered the Hurons in 1648 and 1649, and missionaries gathered fugitives first on Christian Island, then at Quebec, Orleans Island, and back to Quebec after a Mohawk raid in 1656. Two sub-tribes merged with the Iroquois for peace, but the Cord refused to leave French protection. Their village at Lorette grew from that stubborn remnant.
