 * changed "Canadian Martyrs" to "North American Martyrs" as two were killed in New York State.


 * Yes but nevertheless they are called the "Canadian Martyrs". Adam Bishop 02:57, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

N. Amer
5 were killed in Canada 3 in US

will try to edit main Saints page b4 I die....


 * Well, as was mentioned before, those three were killed in "New York State". But they weren't really, because that was still part of New France at the time they were killed, wasn't it? (If so, technically it was Canada). Adam Bishop 15:47, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

objections to what?
In the sentence "Against the voiced desires of Huguenot Protestants, officials of trading companies, and some native North Americans, he was granted his wish and in 1625 he sailed to Canada as a missionary ..." it is unclear to me what the point of the "voiced desires" is. Were they personally against Brebeuf, which would be unusual, or where they against a Jesuit presence in New France, which would imply that he began the mission on his own wish, which is historically incorrect and would also be unusual? --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 12:26, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Patron Saint of Canada?
I just made mention of this over on the Saint Joe page.. I have always understood St. Jean de Brebeufto be the Patron Saint of Canada, but there is no mention of it here..? Dphilp75 (talk) 16:29, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Inconsistent Dates
The article currently says "A plaque, circa 1969 near the grave of Jean de Brébeuf and Gabriel Lalemant was unearthed during excavations at Ste Marie in 1954." I don't have access to the source (Charlotte Gray 'The Museum Called Canada: 25 Rooms of Wonder' Random House, 2004). Does anybody know what that should be? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.83.102.2 (talk) 16:27, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

1636 Feast of The Dead at Ossossané
The_Huron_Feast_of_the_Dead is an orphan page with link to this page; yet this page does not reciprocate. Fbax (talk) 21:58, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Dates in France
Introduction currently states "here he worked primarily with the Huron for the rest of his life, except for a short time back in France in 1629-1630." but Missionary section states he was in northern France until 1633. This is contradictory, which date range is correct? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.71.57.162 (talk) 18:35, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
