Jacques Cartier was a French explorer renowned for his voyages to North America in the 16th century. He is best known for claiming Canada for France and is credited with exploring the St. Lawrence River, which he navigated to reach the land that would become Quebec. Cartier's expeditions laid the groundwork for future French colonization and contributed significantly to European knowledge of the North American continent. His interactions with Indigenous peoples also played a crucial role in shaping early French- Indigenous relations.
