Hochelaga (village)
Hochelaga was a St. Lawrence Iroquoian 16th century fortified village at the heart of, or in the immediate vicinity of Mount Royal in present-day Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Jacques Cartier arrived by boat on October 2, 1535; he visited the village on the following day. He was greeted well by the Iroquians, and named the mountain he saw nearby, Mount Royal. Several names in and around Montreal and the Hochelaga Archipelago are due to him.
A stone marker recalling the former village was placed in 1925 on land adjacent to McGill University, believed to be in the vicinity of the location of the village visited by Cartier in 1535. 〔(This memorial commemorates the site of the fortified town of Hochelaga which was visited by Jacques Cartier. The memorial was erected in 1925 by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada. )〕The site of the marker is designated a National Historic Site of Canada.
==Etymology==
Most linguists accept the word Hochelaga as a French corruption of an Iroquoian term — either ''osekare'', meaning "beaver path" or "beaver dam", or ''osheaga'', meaning "big rapids" in reference to the nearby Lachine Rapids.〔("Hochelaga" ) at The Canadian Encyclopedia.〕 An alternative explanation has been proposed in which "Osheaga" meant "people of the shaking hands"; in some versions of this story, the Iroquoian people were bewildered by Cartier waving his hands wildly to attract their attention as he first approached the settlement in his boat, while in others they were bewildered by his European custom of greeting them with a handshake.〔("Watchwords: Why our music fest is called Osheaga" ). ''Montreal Gazette'', July 28, 2014.〕 These latter explanations are favoured by the Mohawk people further downriver at Kahnawake, but are not easily supported by the Mohawk language's significant dissimilarities to what is known of the only distantly related Laurentian language that was spoken by the Iroquoian people at Hochelaga.〔
