It is known only from the wordlists collected by the explorer Jacques Cartier during his two visits in 1534 and 1536. Examination of the data suggests they represent more than one dialect. By the time Champlain visited the area in 1603 the Laurentians had vanished." Victor Golla, Atlas of the World's Languages 2007 pg. 17
