Jacques Cartier was a French explorer who claimed what is now modern-day Canada for France. He was born in Saint-Malo in the French region of Brittany in 1491. He sailed to what is now known as Canada in 1534; he was the first European to see Prince Edward Island, the St. Lawrence River, what is now modern-day Montreal, and the homes of many Iroquois and other First Nations tribes. Cartier sailed to Canada three times before his death in France in 1557.
