As a missionary Priest/explorer he was one of the first White men to see the Mississippi River, as he labored among the Indians. He was of the Jesuit order and was , as the name suggests, a Frenchman.

He traveled to Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Illinois around 1622 on his way from Montreal down the Mississippi river where he created permanent settlements.
