Description:	With this volume, the Society satisfied a growing desire among scholars to have ready access to Lafitau's classic Mouers des sauvages américains, a two-volume, 1,000-page study by the Jesuit priest first published in 1724. He served at the Jesuit mission at Caughnawaga from 1712 to 1717. The editors have employed the original 1724 edition for this English translation.
