Jacques Cartier was a pivotal figure in the exploration of North America, specifically Canada, during the 16th century. His expeditions, particularly those in 1534 and 1535, led to the European awareness of the St. Lawrence River and the indigenous peoples of the region. Cartier's voyages laid the groundwork for French claims in North America and established trade relations with Indigenous groups, significantly influencing the course of colonization in the New World. His legacy is marked by his role in opening up Canada to European exploration and settlement.
