Massacre des Iroquois par les Hurons - Massacre of the Iroquois by the Hurons - Québec, Québec - Disaster Memorials on Waymarking.com

Inscription sur la plaque:

Sur ce site historique du Cap Diamant,
Les Hurons, usant justement de représailles,
brûlèrent vivants les Iroquois capturés.

Tous sans défaillance jusqu'au dernier soupir
et par manière de défi
chantèrent leur chant de mort.

17e Siècle

En 1636, par exemple, des guerriers Algonquins organisent un raid en territoire mohawk, au cours duquel ils tuent 28 Iroquois et en capturent un certain nombre d’autres, dont 5 sont ramenés vivants à Québec pour être torturés. En 1638, les Hurons réussissent également à capturer plus de 100 Iroquois et à en tuer beaucoup d’autres.

Inscription on the plaque:

Here on historic Cape Diamond
Justly retaliating Hurons
burnt captured Iroquois alive
but every burning Iroquois
sang his defiant death-song,
Quite unflinchingly.

17th Century

In 1636, for example, Algonquin warriors organized a raid into Mohawk territory during which they killed 28 Iroquois and captured a number of others, five of whom were brought back alive to Quebec City to be tortured.
