Agouhanna was the St. Lawrence Iroquoian term for tribal chief chief or leader. Name Misinterpretation The word has been mistakenly interpreted as being the name of the chief of Hochelaga , on the site of present day Montreal . This confusion stems from a passage in A Shorte and Briefe Narration of the Two Nauigations and Discoueries to the Northwest Partes Called Newe Fraunce by Richard Hakluyt , in which French explorer Jacques Cartier first meets the chief of Hochelaga. The passage reads ...the Lord & King of the countrey was brought upon 9 or 10 mens shoulders whom in their tongue they call Agouhanna ref cite book title A Collection of the Early Voyages, Travels, and Discoveries of the English Nation url http books.google.ca books?id kJNAAAAYAAJ&lpg PA273&ots N4WViXk45&dq Agouhanna 20 20hochelaga 20 aubrey 20 aubry&pg PP7 v onepage&q Agouhanna 20 20hochelaga 20 aubrey 20 aubry&f false p.273 accessdate 29 June 2011 ref This passage was interpreted as meaning that Agouhanna was the name of the Hochelagan chief.

It is believed to be represented in the local flag of Saint Pierre and Miquelon the yellow ship . It is also featured on the Amory Adventure Award of Canadian Scouting. Replica image Grande Hermine Shipwreck.jpg thumb Replica La Grande Hermine abandoned and burned A life size replica of the vessel was featured at the Expo 67 in Montreal 1967 where it served as a floating restaurant . Following the Expo the replica was moved to Quebec City and put on static display in an artificial pond located in a city park, where it remained for at least three decades poorly maintained. It was broken up completely in the same park where it sat for years. The replica was later purchased by a businessman with the intention of moving it to Ontario and re opening the restaurant. Unfortunately, he didn t have the funds to realise his dream, and the ship sat in Jordan Harbour, near St. Catharines for years, unused. In 2003, the ship was destroyed by what police called a suspicious fire, most likely the work of arsonists. The burned out hull still sits in the harbour, located between the 55 and 57 Kilometer markers on the Queen Elizabeth Way.
