Pierre Raffeix
Pierre Raffeix was a French Jesuit missionary in Canada.
He was born at Clermont-Ferrand, entered the Society of Jesus in 1653, and came to Canada in 1663. In 1668 he established near Montreal a settlement for converted Iroquois.
In 1671 he replaced Étienne de Carheil in the Cayuga mission, and afterwards went to the Seneca Indians until 1680.
Raffeix was a cartographer, as the following surviving maps bear witness:
After his return to Quebec he acted as procurator to the mission. He spent two years at Jeune-Lorette, shortly after the final migration of the remnants of the Huron nation. He died at Quebec.
