    I never said Brule …
    I never said Brule was a slave. I alluded to a slave-owner’s attitude toward a faithful slave as an analogy of Champlain’s attitude toward Brule.

    Champlain treated Brule poorly. Even when he spoke well of him, he was not necessarily looking out for Etienne’s best intentions. The journals, and especially the local tribal history, show that Champlain should be considered an accomplice to Brule’s horrible murder by the Huron.

    I’m guessing Champlain called Brule “my boy” more like a southern slave owner than as a son. Especially given other accounts of the relationship.

    Still I’m disappointed that there’s no mention of Brule discovering the Great Lakes in 1610, or Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, opening trade and attempting peace with the Iroquois. Otherwise a very good documentary.

    Les immigrants qui parlent notre langue, qui respectent notre cutlure et qui considèrent le Québec comme leur pays sont mes frères. Malheureusement ils sont peu nombreux…

    Dans ce cas …
    Dans ce cas j’aténue mon commentaire si il s’agit de Québecois comme acteur.
    Mais l’important est votre indépendance , soyez singulier et Québecois c’est comme cela que vous rendrez service au monde! Et non en donnat la nationalité Canadienne ( pas encore Québecoise) à tous le simmigrants, qui gardent des leins avec leurs pays, qui ne perpétuent pas les traditions Québecoises!
    Attention que le peuple Québecois en disparaissent pas par un génocide de substitution de population!

    c’Est déja beau que des anglais s’intéressent à notre histoire! non? En engageant des acteurs québécois en plus

  18. philbox17 says:

    Je suis d’accord …
    Je suis d’accord mais au moin les acteurs sont Québécois. Il y a probablement une version Française mais c’est difficile à trouver sur internet. Bref, ce vidéo est modifié de toute façon. J’ai rajouté des images historiques et quelque partie du film Robe Noir.

    J’aime pas trop cette verion! Remarquez il n’y en a pas de Française ni de Québecoise! Il faut des patriotes pour faire ces documentaires pas des anglo-saxons!

    In fact in the 1700′s there was almost no winter and in the 1800′s there was almost no summer. Time change it is normal, but global warming don’t help…
