Samuel de Champlain

Champlain first settled in Canada on the banks of the St. John river in What is now New Brunswick in the very early 1600's. It was not a permanent settlement, just a camp to attempt trade with local aboriginals. After a winter where exposure and disease nearly wiped out his men, he set out in search of a location where he could set up a permanent fur trading center. In the year 1604, he discovered an inlet off of what is now the Bay of Fundy, and along the Basin shore on the north side found the site for his and Canada's first permanent settlement.

After constructing a 'Habitation' trading post, a large square fort like structure, roots were permanently established in Canada for years to come. Some of the original men who settled with Champlain here can be still traced to Canadian families. Including some of his leaders, Winniett and La Tour.

Champlain was so impressed by the natural port that protected him and the beauty of his surrounding, he named the area Port Royal. Over the Coming years, the French and local Miq Maq Indians developed a trust in one another and a friendship that would aid the French in battles with Briton for centuries. The Habitation at Port Royal would be attacked, burnt down, rebuilt and eventually abandoned.

It was the site of many firsts for the yet undeveloped country of Canada, including Canada's first theater and first social club, The Order Of Good Cheer, hosted by Champlain.

Champlain, a explorer, did not stay at Port Royal for many years, soon he had left, to procure other interests for France. He founded Quebec in 1608 and built it into a French empire that would last for well over a century.

At Port Royal a new settlement was laid by the men left behind by Champlain just up the river. In the ruthless battle for ownership of the new land a large garrison fort was carved out of the land at the new Port Royal site. Before long French families had settled in the town adjacent to the fort and beyond in what is now Nova Scotia and the colony was named Acadie and the settlers, Acadians.

Port Royal was the most fought for piece of property in North America for large parts of the 17th and 18th centuries. It changed hands many times, between British and French, but also Scottish an American Privateers. It was during the short Scottish rule, that the name Nova Scotia, latin for New Scotland was first given.

In 1710 Port Royal and Acadia were conquered by the British for the last time. The town Champlain had named over 100 years previous was permanently changed to Annapolis Royal, 'the Royal City of Anne', by Francis Nicholson to honor Queen Anne. Nicholson years later would also conquer and name Annapolis Maryland, the large USA Naval Port.

Annapolis Royal would serve as the head of Government in the British new world, as it had for the French until the founding of Halifax in 1759. To many, this makes the small remaining town of Annapolis Royal, the first Canadian Capital, something not credited in many history books.

The fort grounds in the town were designated Canada's first National Historic site and the town itself has now been designated as well. Because of this, a walk amongst the town, is like a trip back in time.

The original 'Habitation' was long rotted away when the Canadian Government decided to rebuild it in 1939-40. It still stands, itself a National Historic site, a reminder of the footprint Champlain left in the history of Canada.

Well, um......Samuel de Champlain was a good guy. He held a lot of maturity, while the other explorers were fails and complained. He was also a humanist in a way. Caus.......um......he recognized the Indians as humans, while the other explorers thought them as a low inferior. Do you know what I mean? Not much. But I hope this answer will help for your knowledge or your school projects. Caus....... I'm just a fifth grader you know. I needed this info too earlier. But now I know the answer. Please rate this answer good ok? Just do it. It's all good now. You gained knowledge while I know you know that now.

v Samuel de Champlain mapped much of northeastern North America and started a settlement in Quebec. Champlain also discovered the lake named for him (Lake Champlain, on the border of northern New York state and Vermont, named in 1609) and was important in establishing and administering the French colonies in the New World.

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 needed food, water, clothing, and so on.

hello my name is boby jack how r u doing dummby look at ur face it looks very nice i also love tacos do you?

Since the records were lost in a fire in 1690, there is no real answer. But we do know that he went to an academy for young men of respectable families. He learned seamanship from his uncles, father and the school.

His father was a naval sea captain and a pilot. He looked up to his two uncles who were also big naval sea captains. Because of this, Samuel wanted to become a naval captain or join the military. He attended an academy for young men of respectable families and was skilled in navigation and seamanship. He was also strengthened in surveying and cartography. Although he was known as a 'rowdy by with a lack of polish and skipped classes,' he still graduated. The graduates of this particular academy were suitable for service in the army or with a lord.

(i did Samuel de Champlain for a report so i have my mind overloaded with info on him)

if you mean how, he did many things to increase development like make a trading post in 1608. He also made a big fort that many people lived in. He made an approximate map of Quebec in 1610. He died in 1635 on December 25, so he was called the father of Quebec

Samuel de Champlain first touched North American soil in 1599 , when he landed on the Island of Guadeloupe and saw North American Natives for the first time.

His parents were Antoine Champlain the sea Captain and Marguerite Le Roy. He married when he was 40 to a 12 year old named Helen Boule

Bread and water! and rotten fish

Champlain wanted to claim lands in North America and Canada, for he was sent there to do that.... :P But he just ended up claiming a trading post (which is now Quebec City) and Lake Champlain. btw answers.com isn't really good for projects because people put random answer or just answers that aren't true. but im doing a project on Champlain and i researched about him so this answer is true :)

I think Samuel de Champlain had his own private living space and workmen had to share their living spaces because Champlain was in power. Champlain was in charge of the operation, meaning he gets the benefits of having his own private living space. The other workmen had to share rooms because 1, they aren't in charge, 2, they worked for Champlain and 3, they were not as important as the boss and were considered “lucky to have a living space in the first place working for Champlain”. This is just how things go, even today, the leader gets the best and the workers get the worst whether it's a room, paycheck, car, etc.

Champlain was trying to find a trade route to the West Indies but came across Canada instead. Then, King Henry IV sent him back to Canada to explore and trade there. Sieur de Monts helped Champlain out on one of his voyages and the Natives helped out along the way too.

asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfadfsadfasdfdsaf please don't answer questions like that people don't know the answer and they won't know what to do with their lives when they grow up then they will be poor.
