Interpretation 1: Word Cloud Analysis of the Jesuit Relations

The following word clouds were produced using Voyant Tools by the students in HIS 2201E: Canadian History at Huron University College in the fall of 2015. They were created from Creighton University’s digital transcriptions of these documents. A word cloud is a visual representation of the words that most commonly appear in a document. What do we learn from these images about the Jesuit Relations as a historical source?
