I find it very telling that there is no conversation about the real genocide taking place of the Huron/ Algonquin / Mississauga by the Iroquois at the time that Champlain had made it to just east of Belleville (to which these oppressed peoples flocked to for protection). The History of the County of Peterborough Ontario by Mulvaney / Ryan published in 1884 goes into great detail of this reality, but alas, seems lost to a more convenient history.
