Gabriel Lalemant was a 17th-century French Jesuit priest and missionary who served in New France. Born in Paris in 1610, he joined the Society of Jesus in 1630 and eventually traveled to Canada in 1646 after his uncle, Jérôme Lalemant, helped secure his assignment. He spent his final years working among the Wendat people, specifically at the mission of Saint Louis. During a period of intense conflict between the Wendat and the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, he was captured and killed in March 1649.
