Jean Nicolet was a French explorer credited with being one of the first Europeans to reach the shores of Lake Michigan in 1634. He is known for his role in exploring the Great Lakes region and establishing contact with Native American tribes. Nicolet also played a significant part in the early fur trade in North America, which helped lay the groundwork for future French colonization in the area. His explorations contributed to the European understanding of the interior of North America.
