Summary:

"Jacques Cartier's account of his visit in 1535 to the Indian town of Hochelaga on the island of Montreal has long captured the imagination of Canadians. Who were its inhabitants? Did it occupy the site discovered just south of the McGill campus in 1859 and described by John William Dawson? An anthropologist and an archaeologist re-examine the evidence in the light of present knowledge. Bruce Trigger reviews the historical evidence concerning the size and location of Hochelaga and suggests that the Hochelagans were not the ancestors of the Hurons or Iroquois but a separate people who probably disappeared in the tribal struggles resulting from the early French fur trade. James Pendergast describes for the first time all the material from the Dawson site and compares it with that from other Iroquoian sites in the upper St Lawrence Valley."--Pub. website.
