N2  - "Conversion des Sauvages qui ont esté baptizés en la Nouvelle France, cette…" by Marc Lescarbot is a historical account written in the early 17th century. The book discusses the efforts and experiences related to the Christianization of Indigenous peoples in New France, particularly focusing on the baptism of various Native leaders and their families. It chronicles the attempts at spiritual outreach by French settlers and missionaries during a time marked by exploration and colonization.  In the book, Lescarbot recounts the journeys of Sieur de Poutrincourt as he engages with Indigenous communities and promotes the Christian faith among them. The narrative highlights the initial successes and the challenges faced, including cultural misunderstandings and internal conflicts among the Indigenous groups. Notably, it details the baptism of Membertou, a prominent Native leader, alongside his family and other individuals, symbolizing a significant event in the historical religious interactions between French colonizers and Native peoples. The text advocates for further religious outreach, emphasizing the spiritual importance of these endeavors while also critiquing the lack of support from French authorities and society for this missionary work.
