Pierre Millet Milet died December 31, 1708 was a France French Jesuit missionary to the Iroquois people in the area that is now New York New York State . Life Millet was sent from France to Canada in 1667, and in 1668 he was stationed with the Iroquois. He was put in charge of the Oneida tribe Oneida mission in 1671, and by 1675 had converted the primary Oneida chief to Christianity , allowing him to build a sizable congregation. He left his Oneida mission in 1684 and accompanied the governor of New France , Joseph Antoine de La Barre de La Barre , in a campaign against the Seneca tribe . Father Millet was employed as interpreter at the 1686 conference between the French and Iroquois at Fort Frontenac . He was stationed temporarily a Fort Niagara , but when it was abandoned by the French in 1687, he returned to Fort Frontenac where he continued his work as an interpreter and liaison between the French and Iroquois. Fort Frontenac was attacked by Iroquois forces in 1689, and the Indians requested Millet s presence among their dying men. Members of the Onondaga tribe captured him and eventually turned him over to the Oneidas, who were about to execute him when he was adopted by an Indian woman, who gave him shelter until he was released in October, 1694, and went to Quebec. In 1697, the Oneidas requested that he return as a missionary but there is no record of him doing so. In 1926 the Knights of Columbus dedicated a Father Millet Cross cross in his honor at Fort Niagara. ref name glimpses citation title Glimpses of Historical Areas East of the Mississippi River Administered by the National Park Service url http www.nps.gov history history online books glimpses3 glimpses1b.htm accessdate 2009 05 18 date 1937 publisher U.S. Government Printing Office location Washington, D.C. ... 9e0f94665a7f835c9818c57e9b22d5ee The Millet Cross CathEncy wstitle Pierre Millet DEFAULTSORT Millet, Pierre Category 1708 deaths Category French Jesuits Category Roman Catholic missionaries Category ... more details
