Everybody has been wondering the samething... I don't say it is totaly impossible that the priest made a mistake and forgot the word "petite" in front of Eskimaude... but, it is also very likely that there was no error...

People tend to look at natives the same way they look at Europeen and focus too much on the geography, ignoring the fact that natives were use to travel very long distances on a more or less regular bases... and being unaware of inter-relations between various Native groups...

So, unless someone can proove otherwise r new finding are made... I believe we have to accept the record "as is"...
