The Acadian colonists’ allies, the native Mi'kmaq…

June 1610 CE

The Acadian colonists’ allies, the native Mi'kmaq nation, have kept careful watch over the Acadians’ possessions.

When the former Lieutenant Governor, Jean de Biencourt de Poutrincourt et de Saint-Just, returns in 1610, he finds Port Royal just as it was left.

Champlain has in the meantime established a colony in present day Quebec City.

Jean de Biencourt de Poutrincourt et de Saint-Just arrives in Acadia on June 1, 1610, with another group of settlers, including his nineteen-year old son Charles de Biencourt de Saint-Just, and the Huguenots Claude de Saint-Étienne de la Tour, and his fourteen-year old son, Charles de Saint-Étienne de la Tour, and another Catholic priest, named Flesch.

Flesch begins baptizing the Mi'kmaq, including their chief, Membertou, in late June 1610.

The ship, now captained by the young Biencourt, immediately returns to France to secure more supplies.
