text: annexe to Champlain
  a more accurate image of him is on "Black Robe" Canado-Australian film co-production
  and Best Canadian Film 1991
  notice in these clips there's NO horses – 
  the Peoples of the First Nations move/ walk on foot or by canoe / 
  they do not yet know this animal because it has no horses in 1634 North America continent. This is Comte Samuel de Champlain then Gouverneur Général of Canada who will place a 'command' to the Chief Veterinary Officer of the stables of the kingship of King Louis XIV 
  (a kind of Mega Royal Ministry of Agriculture, oui?). In 1662, "Stables" of France’s King Louis XIV will emerge one of the most remarkable horses to conquer North America;
   the "Canadien" horse (“French Canadian” horse/ see Google-picture & info).
