Talk:Hochelaga (village)

Untitled

Hochelega is a mispelling of Hochelaga. Please change.

--The Mohawk are a tribe within the Iroquois Confederacy/Haudenosaunee. Thus Mohawk = Iroquois. According to the St. Lawrence Iroquoians article, it seems that this group was not Iroquois, as in the Confederacy, but culturally Irqouoian--speaking an Iroquoian Language (Laurentian) similar to Mohawk and others, and living in longhouses like the Iroquois.

The tone of this article needs to be re-evaluated. It was clearly written by someone with a poor grasp of the English language, as there are several issues with tense. The introduction, in particular, is poorly written.

i agree. it comes off as having been translated from a french document, probably by someone who's first langauage is french. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.41.88.154 (talk) 14:39, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Stray text

I removed the following from the Bibliography and Sources section because it doesn't belong there and it appears to be contradictory and/or irrelevant to the article. Perhaps another editor can decide whether any of it is worth incorporating:

Hochelaga at the time of Cartier's visit was a prosperous Huron trading station, but was not described as 'fortified'.

The Huron were periodically under attack by the Iroquois.

At the time of Champlain's establishment of the settlement at Québec, Hochelaga had been abandoned by the Huron due to its indefensibility.

In subsequent years, Champlain allied the French in the Huron campaigns against the Iroquois. Champlain was injured in one battle near Sackets Harbor, New York"
