Seasons of New France
A wind of change blows over the native lands of North America, a new wind coming from France and bringing with it both a different way of life and the Word of God. Filled with hope, European setters and missionaries take possession of the territory, forge out of their lives, hand down knowledge and attend to their daily tasks. By dint of great effort and under the guidance of God, they surrender to the seasons of New France.
