Black Robe:

Set in New France in the 1640s, this 1991 film tells the story of a Jesuit missionary, called “Black Robe” by the indigenous, who hires an Algonquin tribe to guide him and his companion 1500 miles into the Canadian frontier to convert the “savage and godless creatures.” Along the way, they are captured by a rival Huron tribe and forced to run “the gauntlet.” A story of colliding and changing worlds. These two chapters depict well the material culture of the Huron. Both are quite graphic.
