Indigenous Slavery in the Galley Fleet of Louis XIV: A Global Haudenosaunee History
In 1687, at Fort Frontenac, a French army imprisoned hundreds of Haudenosaunee delegates during a supposed peace negotiation. During this talk, Dr. Scott Berthelette will discuss the Haudenosaunee response to this betrayal and the experiences of Indigenous prisoners who were enslaved on Louis XIV’s Mediterranean galley ships.
Join us to learn about this pivotal chapter of 17th-century Haudenosaunee history and its global context.
Heritage Hour is hosted in Memorial Hall, located on the second floor of City Hall, from 12 - 1 p.m. unless otherwise noted. Registration is not required, and all are welcome to attend.
