Sainte-marie Among The Hurons
Sainte-Marie among the Hurons
was a
17th century
Jesuit
mission on the shore of
Georgian Bay
, near what is now the community of
Midland, Ontario
. The mission was established in
1649
by
French
Jesuits to
Christianize
the indigenous
Huron
people in the
Georgian Bay
area. It was the first non-
aboriginal
settlement in what is now the province of
Ontario
.
Eight missionaries
from Sainte-Marie were
martyred
, and have been
canonized
by the
Roman Catholic Church
. A nearby church, the
Martyrs' Shrine
, commemorates the eight saints. The mission now operates as a
living museum
.
