On Thursday October 4, 1759, a force of several hundred Ojibway Soldiers were assembled to carry out an offensive against an Ojibway settlement near white French settlements in Quebec. Ojibway leaders knew them Anishinabe citizens who lived in Odanak, were converts to Christianity or anti-Messiah, and were offering their service to whites. That was a no, no to Anishinabe ogimak. As a means to end that relationship between Anishinabe citizens of Odanak and whites, those several hundred Ojibway Soldiers were ordered to destroy Odanak. After Ojibway Soldiers made their approach to Odanak, they commenced to attacking Odanak. Anywhere from 30 to 300 were killed. Most survivors were rounded up by Ojibway Soldiers and forced to evacuate Odanak. Afterwards, Ojibway Soldiers destroyed Odanak.
