de Callière... ...An important figure, yet little known. |
||||||||
 |
Callière,
Governor of Montréal from 1684 to 1698 and Governor of New France
from 1699 to 1703, was the driving force behind the Montréal Conference.
This huge event brought together representatives of nearly forty aboriginal nations in August 1701 and led to the signing of the Great Peace of Montréal. |

 |
||||||||
| In recent years, a team of archaeologists and historians has been trying to find out more about Callière and his residence.. | ||||||||
 |
||||||||
| Now,
digital modelling techniques and the information gathered by researchers
have made it possible to reconstruct a three-dimensional version of the
residence. That's one of the virtues of archaeology, after all: it allows us to take trips back in time... |
