This podcast is like a Christmas present that just doesn't quit giving. Even when I have no idea what to listen to I can come here, click on any video even if I have no idea what it's about and find the subject interesting.
Queen Liz I sent Drake to find 'point of position', so Champlain likely had similar instructions. Explorers were the intelligence gatherers of their day.
When I was taught history in Quebec the word "Sauvage" meant "wild" not the English "savage" meaning. But definitely inferior to the "civilized" as French and English. A new biography of Samuel de Champlain by Éric Thierry has just been published.
No, it means the same. It translates directly. "Sauvage" is something you call an animal, not a human being. The proper Quebecois name is "autochtone" or "Premiere Nation". It's disparaging when the Quebecois call aboriginal people "maudit sauvage" or "' 'tit neg' ".
According to my ancestry tree, I'm DNA related to Henry IV. He's something like 4th great uncle of my 8th great grandmother or something or something convoluted like that.
