This 18th-century carved, gilded and silvered wooden altarpiece is the only one that has been preserved in the country. Further, it has the rare characteristic of blending elements of French and Huron-Wendat cultures. On the right is a depiction of the “Lorette des Hurons” village, with its church, presbytery and longhouses. In front of the church an Indigenous woman, who is sometimes thought to be Kateri Tekakwitha.
