Everything about Jean De Lalande totally explained
Saint Jean de Lalande (died
October 18,
1646) was a
Jesuit missionary at
Sainte-Marie among the Hurons and one of the eight
North American Martyrs.
Lalande was a member of a party lead by Jesuit Father
St. Isaac Jogues as an envoy to the
Mohawk lands to protect the precarious peace of the time. However, Mohawk attitudes towards this peace had soured during the men's journey and they were attacked by a Mohawk party en route. They were taken to the village of
Ossernenon (Auriesville, N.Y.), where they were decreed to be set free by the moderate Turtle and Wolf clans. Angered by this, the more
hawkish Bear clan killed Lalande and Jogues on October 18, 1646.
Fordham University Rose Hill Campus in Bronx, New York has a student dormitory named after Jean de Lalande.
