He claimed the land for France, naming it "New France," and established contact with various Indigenous peoples, including the St. Lawrence Iroquoian tribes. Cartier navigated the St. Lawrence River, reaching the site of present-day Montreal and gathering valuable information about the region's geography and resources. His explorations laid the groundwork for future French colonization in North America.
