Anuhuak
was a 24 year-old Huron Indian woman who lived in what today we call Ontario,
Canada.
-
Spring, 1656, a pale skinned foreigner, wearing a
black robe and claiming to be an emissary of the one 'true God,' arrived.
-
In the two years he lived with the natives, many died. Anuhuak was one.
-
Here's how the Jesuit missionary described Anuhuak's
death:
| "He [The Lord] visited
upon her with a malady which is common enough among the Savages, being
a kind of weakness, together with a slow fever; and this so exhausted
her that she wasted away before our eyes with an inflammation,
accompanied by severe cough, which affected her whole chest to such an
extent that her lungs were gradually destroyed."

- Her body was placed on a scaffold, near
the village, as was the Huron custom.
- Three years later, what remained of her
bones were gathered, wrapped in a beaver skin and buried in a common
grave.
|
 |
- There she lay in peaceful repose with her
kin until 1972 when the common grave was accidentally discovered while
excavating a foundation for a house.

Anuhuak's bones had mingled
with the those of her relatives.
