How was Marie de l’Incarnation different from her religious contemporaries, especially in her attitudes toward Native people? The actress who plays the role of Marie de l’Incarnation consults a number of people to help her: historians, a singer, a dancer, and so on. Does this help us better understand history? Have students pick a historical figure and attempt to “decode” that person from a physical and emotional perspective.
