Biography

Joseph Petitpas was a Canadian First Peoples and member of the Mi'kmaq Nation.

Joseph was born in 1699. He passed away in 1730 at Rochefort, Aunis (today Charente-Maritime), France:

"Joseph Petitpas entered the hospital (at Rochefort) on April 28, 1730 and died on May 17, 1730. Paul Petitpas entered the hospital on September 27, 1730 and died on October 24, 1730. The November 1708 Indian Census of Acadie tells that Joseph Petitpas was 9 years and Paul Petitpas 13 years old. Therefore, when they died Joseph was 31 years old and Paul 35 years old. Now it is known that these native men were exiled for the rest of their life from their homeland Mi’kma’ki. They survived only 2 years in a faraway land.
