l5mile Fortune Stani.slas Joseph Petitot was 

 born, December 3, 1838, at Grancey-le-ChAteau, 

 department of Cote-d'Or, Burgundy, France. 

 His studies were pursvied at Marseilles, first at 

 the Institution St. Louis, and later at the 

 higherseminary of Marseilles, which he entered 

 iu 1857. He Wijs made deacon at Grenoble, aiul 

 jiriest at Marseilles March 15, 1862. A few 

 days thereafter he went to England and sailed 

 for America. At Montreal he found Mcui- 

 seigneur Tach6, bishoi) of St. Boniface, with 

 whom he set out for the Northwest, where he 

 was continuously engaged in missionary work 

 among the Indians and Eskimo.s until 1874, 

 when he returned to France to supervise the 

 publication of some of his works on linguistics 

 and geography. In 1876 he returned to the 

 missions and spent another period of nearly six 

 years in the Northwest. In 1882 ho once more 

 returned to his native country, where he has 

 since remained. In 1886 he was appointed to 

 the curacy of Mareuil, near Meaux, which he 

 still retains. The many years he spent in the 

 inhospitable Northwest were busy and eventful 

 ones, and afforded an opportunity for geo- 

 graphic, linguistic, and ethnologic observations 

 and studies such as few have enjoyed. He was 

 the first missionary to visit Great Bear Lake, 

 which Ue did for the first time in 1866. I^e went 



Petitot (E. F. S. J.) — Continued. 



on foot from Good Hope to Providttice twice, 

 and made many tours in winter of forty or fifty 

 days' length on snowshoes. He was the first 

 missionary to the Eskimos of the Northwest, 

 having visited them in 1865, at the mouth of 

 the Anderson, again in 1868 at the mouth of 

 the Mackenzie, and in 1870 and again in 1877 at 

 Fort McPherson on Peel River. In 1870 his 

 travels extended into Alaska. In 1878 illness 

 caused him to ret\irn south. He went on foot 

 to Athabaska, whence he passed to the Saskat- 

 chewan in a bark. In 1879 he established the 

 mission of St. Ra])hael, at Angling Lake, for 

 the Chippewyans of that region; there he 

 remained until his final departure for France in 

 January, 1882.

 the Eskimauan and Alg(m([uian tribes, see the
