Excerpt from The Jesuit Relations and Allied Documents, Vol. 51: Travels and Explorations of the Jesuit Missionaries in New France; 1610 1791
The seed of the true religion has been carried among the Illinois tribes by some of their own people, whom Allouez has instructed. He regards that nation as Offering a most promising field for missionary labor; he finds them friendly, and more inclined than other tribes to recognize a Supreme Being. He describes a ceremony peculiar to them, the calumet dance.
