One of Louis Joliet's goals was to explore the waterways of North America and find a passage to the Pacific Ocean. He is known for his explorations of the Mississippi River and the Great Lakes region with Jacques Marquette.
Father Marquette was helpfull on his journey with Joliet to explore and find out whether the Mississippi did indeed empty into the Gulf of Mexico, which would be helpful the the French as a trade route from Canada.
Marquette and Joliet were sent on their journey by the French government, specifically by the governor of New France, which was the French colony in North America. They were tasked with exploring the Mississippi River to find a potential river route to the Pacific Ocean.
Louis Joliet and Jacques Marquette explored the Mississippi River in 1673, starting from present-day Green Bay, Wisconsin, and traveling south to the mouth of the Arkansas River. They then turned back north and returned via the Illinois River.
