September 4, 2008, finding hochelaga and founding montreal and the disappearance of the, st. lawrence iroquois. Important witness to st. lawrence iroquois society and hochelaga. The next major european explorer to return there is samuel de champlain in. Iroquois we can only know a certain amount of information about them because of the sources available: pre-contact occupation of montreal, cultural chronology of the st. lawrence valley. See powerpoint slide: contact period: 1500-1650. Initial settlement: prior to 2500bc: tools left behind by what is thought to be the lomoka tribe. Made of stone from mount royal: assumption that lomoka were not meat-eaters few bones found; thoughts that animals may have been sacred. Allowed them to be less dependent on the hunt; in the past, winter communities broke up in the winter and become nomadic hunting groups & often leaving the area. In the summer: communities would settle on shores of major waterways and fish.
