The term "First Nations" has come to replace the term native Indians in Canada to describe the Aboriginal people of Canada who were not Inuit nor Métis. One of the primary purposes of the Jesuit Order has been to bring God's word and His saving message to people who have not yet heard it.

Why did Jesuits burn down sault ste Marie among the Hurons?

Your question has a number of problems in it. First, it was the Ojibwe (Chippewa) who populated the area and not the Hurons. Father Jacques Marquette was a Jesuit, but he founded a number villages during his travels (especially in Michigan). I've never heard of the Jesuits burning down Sault Ste Marie, so that is news to me. Granted, the Jesuits can be brutish and intolerant, but arson is not something with which I've heard connected in Michigan.

Why are Jesuits hated?

I never heard that the Jesuits were "hated". I know that the Jesuits were not welcome in protestant England, and Henry VIII, and his daughter, Elizabeth I, tortured and killed them as fast as they could find them. There was some rivalry in the East between the Franciscan and Dominican Missions, and the Jesuits, but nothing that I know of that amounted to hate. In the 18th century the Jesuits were suppressed by the Holy Father due to political pressure from various nations who were trying to maintain religion as a national interest, while the Jesuits were seen as international.

What was the language of the Chippewa Indians?

The Chippewa Indians, also known as the Ojibwe, primarily speak Ojibwe, which is part of the Algonquian language family. Ojibwe has various dialects, including Northern Ojibwe, Southern Ojibwe, and Western Ojibwe, reflecting the diverse regions where the Chippewa people reside. The language is integral to their culture, traditions, and oral history, and efforts to revitalize and preserve it continue among Indigenous communities today.
