General note
Oka, situated some 35 miles west of Montreal and the Lake of Two Mountains, was originally an Indian mission founded in 1717. A band of Iroquois from the Sault-au-Récollet Mission settled there in 1720. Its population reached 900. This number was increased further a few years later when Nipissing and Algonquin groups came from Île-aux-Tourtes across the lake to settle at Oka.
