Sébastien Rale

Sébastien Rale (also Racle, Râle, Rasle, Rasles and Sebastian Rale (January 20, 1657 – August 23, 1724) was a Jesuit missionary and lexicographer who worked among the eastern Abenaki people while stationed on the border of Acadia and New England. Father Rale always supported those elements in the tribe which maintained an active resistance to the English; the increasing English settlement in the Kennebec area was a threat to the Abenakis. Rale was killed by the Colonists during Father Rale's War.
