Start of Film: Set in Quebec, 1634, the film opens with Champlain arranging for the recently-arrived-from-France Jesuit priest (Black Robe) to be brought to the Huron encampments, more than a thousand miles away. Despite the winter weather that is closing in, they decide to make the trek anyway. Champlain has made arrangements with a Northern Algonkian Indian group (the Montagnais) to transport Black Robe to Huronia.
