North American connections to Joan of Arc (1412-31) span across literature, monuments, and wartime campaigns. The inspired heroine has deeply influenced American culture. While Joan died centuries before Canada was colonized, her legacy as a symbol of faith, language, and cultural resilience remains a strong historical thread in the country with connections deeply rooted in Quebec's French-Canadian cultural identity, spanning monumental art, religious architecture, and media. Although Saint Joan is a distinctly 15th-century icon, her archetype of the young, spiritual, and rebellious warrior has also deeply influenced Mexican culture, history, and folklore.
