Description The Canadian multiculturalism involves, as a component, a syncretism of mythological representations. The mythology of the First Nations has often been assimilated to the European archetypes, as the narrative of the travel of the souls to the Village of the Dead shows. Written down by the Jesuit missionary Jean de Brébeuf, this myth has been incorporated into modern literary creation, which is demonstrated in two examples: the novel Beautiful Losers (1966) by the Anglophone Montreal writer Leonard Cohen and the one by the Quebecois writer Jacques Ferron, Le Ciel de Québec (1969).
