Best Answer

Jacques Cartier was the first to explore Newfoundland, the first to take possession of land for France, first to exchange furs with the natives. He found and mapped the St. Lawrence river. He also gave Canada its early name "Kanata" Meaning village or settlement in the Huron-Iroqouis language.
