Nangona abakhafuli batyhola amaJesuit ngobhubhane wengqakaqha phakathi kweeHuron, uJean wahlala nabo.
Waqamba iikatekisima nesichazi-magama eHuron wabona abaguqukayo abangama-7.000 ngaphambi kokuba asweleke ngo-1649. Ebanjwe ngamaIroquois eSainte Marie, ngaseGeorgian Bay, eCanada, uBawo uBrébeuf wasweleka emva kweeyure ezine zokuhlukunyezwa ngokuqatha.
UGabriel Lalemant wayenze isithembiso sesine: ukubingelela ngobomi bakhe kubantu baseMelika. Wayehlukunyezwa kakhulu de wasweleka kunye noBawo Brébeuf.

Utata uNoel Chabanel wabulawa ngo-1649, phambi kokuba aphendule kwifowuni yakhe eFrance. Wayekufumanisa kunzima kakhulu ukulungelelanisa nobomi bemishini. Wayengakwazi ukufunda ulwimi, kwaye ukutya kunye nobomi bamaNdiya bamguqula, kwaye wayenengxaki yokoma ngokomoya ekuhlaleni kwakhe eCanada. Nangona kunjalo wafunga ukuba uyakuhlala kwimishini yakhe ade afe.
