- Abstract
The significance of the first Jesuit mission in Iroquoisie transcends its short history (May 1656 -April 1658). Indeed, the two-year experience reveals less a successful practice of evangelization of America's demons than the limits and powerlessness of French diplomacy and its colonial politics in America in the 1640-1650s. Imposed on New France authorities by Iroquois forces at the cost of the abandon by the French of their aboriginal allies (mainly the Hurons), the Onondaga mission must be understood as the imperial turn of the colonial politics of the French Crown in the 1660s. It shows a double danger for the royal authority: the influence of the French colonial Church and the power of the Iroquois Confederation. The French colonial empire in America will rise against both perils.
