1534 --- Cartier was commissioned by King François I of France[1] to explore the northern American lands in search of riches and the rumored Northwest Passage to Asia.[2]
1541-1543 --- Jacques Cartier and Jean-François de La Roque de Roberval explore Canada and leave men to settle at the St. Lawrence River. The settlement fails.

- Sailing west of Newfoundland he "discovered" the St. Lawrence River and explored the region in three voyages between 1535 and 1541.
- He met several Iroquoian tribal groups, establishing relationships.
