Samuel De Champlain is somewhat a good leader and somewhat bad if you look at this in a different perspective. Samuel De Champlain helped France gain more in wealth and helped them participate in the fur trade in Canada. He made allies with the Huron and the relationship was pretty strong too. A bad side of him is when he killed many Iroquois during a war. He shot two Iroquois chiefs and almost the third one. The Iroquois never forgave the French even now. During the war Samuel De Champlain was shot 2 times with arrows. One was on his knee and the second one was on his neck splitting his ear apart. Samuel de Champlain also married a 12 year old woman at the age of 48 just for money to go again on voyages to Canada and support the place where the French settle, Quebec. So you decide on that question base on this answer. These are the main events on what has occurred in Samuel De Champlain's life.

He got hit in the knee many times, and his leg with two arrows. Thats what killed him.
Samuel de Champlain,Like Cartier a century before him, Samuel de Champlain originally set out to find riches for France and a route to the Orient. From 1603 to his death in 1635, Champlain crossed the Atlantic Ocean many times. Through these voyages he accomplished a great deal. His skills as a cartographer (map-maker) provided detailed maps of the Atlantic coast, the waterways of the St. Lawrence and its tributaries, and a view of the interior of the continent that had, until then, not been available to Europeans. In his initial voyages, he explored the coastal regions of eastern North America. He founded a settlement at Québec City, the first permanent settlement for Europeans in what was to become Canada. He established a military alliance with the Huron people. In 1609 he joined them in an attack near a lake that would eventually bear his name. In this attack, Champlain used his arquebus (an early type of shotgun). He loaded it with two rounds of shot and fired it into the group of Iroquois attacking his party. This one shot instantly killed two Iroquois chiefs. The attacking force, not ever having experienced anything like this before, retreated, giving the victory to the Huron alliance. Over the next 20 years Champlain worked tirelessly to build a colony for France. By the time of his death, he had established the basis of a successful colony, and Champlain's legacy as the "Father of New France" was secured.
Samuel de Champlain built a colony in Quebec he developed a fur trading post with the natives. He went on raids and was the first European to find Lake Champlain which he named for himself. :)he made triads with the natives in that area but then the natives turned on him and he killed them
According to unverified research, Samuel De Champlain had a brother named Jacob Champlain. But the lack of biographical data suggest that this may be based on a family history reference.
Some of Samuel de Champlain\'s men were killed by hostile Indians, some died due to starvation, and others abandoned the exploration and left.
he was killed by an Iroquis chief.
8 people were killed
