Huron Journal Entries
1.
My heart belongs to my religion. No one person or group can change that. We may have lost some weaker believers to the Jesuits but I know that the strong and truthfully dedicated believers will stick with our god and believe in our lifestyles and what we shall believe in. We grew up this way and I will not give in to someone that feels as though we can be changed in a matter of minutes because they want us too.
2.
The Jesuits have taken us over. They are attacking us while we are weak. Our weakness is very known to them and known to everyone. Our weakness is time for their revenge on us. The revenge on us from the battles. The battles in which we had killed their 3 chiefs. Our decreasing numbers making us vulnerable is scary.
3.
New and unknown disease have violently and suddenly struck our camps and our people. These deadly unfamiliar diseases are quickly killing more and more people as we speak. Our numbers are rapidly dropping many more are being killed by these diseases and we are becoming increasingly weaker and sicker.
