(p.74) "Huronia is one of the snowiest regions in North America"
pg 75) where the author describes Brebeuf's experience of the weather in 1626... ""blizzards blasted in from Georgian Bay without warning, and temperatures could plunge to -40 at night..."
Living in this region myself - yep! - this matches my experiences here :)

[Huron] girls were not interested. They had a lot to lose from Christianity. The priests had already told the Ossossane council that they wanted to control women's sex lives and and abolish their rights to divorce and child support (pg 209).

The Jesuits in Huronia are pretty infuriating. :( page 168 "... and those Hurons who did let the priest into their homes made him stop talking or threw him out when he mentioned baptism. The priests' determination to perform rituals on their dying children seemed creepy and evil to the Hurons."

Page 19 in the introduction, Bourrie writes that modern society shouldn't feel too smug about certain achievements because, after all, "Just a few years ago, we also thought we had fascism beaten."
