CARTIER, JACQUES Jacques Cartier (1491-1557) was a French explorer who led three expeditions to Canada, in 1534, 1535, and 1541. He was looking for a route to the Pacific through North America (a Northwest Passage) but did not find one. Cartier paved the way for French exploration of North America. Cartier sailed inland, going 1,000 miles up the St. Lawrence River. He also tried to start a settlement in Quebec (in 1541), but it was abandoned after a terribly cold winter. Cartier named Canada ; "Kanata" means village or settlement in the Huron-Iroquois language. Cartier was given directions by Huron-Iroquois Indians for the route to "kanata," a village near what is now Quebec, but Cartier later named the entire region Canada. DE CHAMPLAIN, SAMUEL

THE EUROPEAN DISCOVERY OF THE NEW WORLD Interpreting Primary Source Documents Columbus reports on his voyage to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain. These people in the Caribbean have no creed and they are not idolaters, but they are very gentle and do not know what it is to be wicked, or to kill others, or to steal...and they are sure that we come from Heaven....So your Highnesses should resolve to make them Christians, for I believe that if you begin, in a little while you will achieve the conversion of a great number of peoples to our holy faith, with the acquisition of great lordships and riches and all their inhabitants for Spain. For without doubt there is a very great amount of gold in these lands . The people of this island [Hispaniola], and of all the others that I have found and seen, or not seen, all go naked, men and women, just as their mothers bring them forth; although some women cover a single place with the leaf of a plant, or a cotton something which they make for that purpose. They have no iron or steel, nor any weapons....They have no other weapons than the stems of reeds...on the end of which they fix little sharpened stakes.

There are two collective (dual languages) throughout the present USA- Spanish and English.

Other Sites Terre Haute - A history and a guide This is my history and guide to my adopted home - Terre Haute, Indiana. Explorers and Settlers The earliest white explorers of Indiana were the expeditions led by the Spaniard, Hernando de Soto and later, the Frenchman, la Salle. It was generally supposed that de Soto only traveled as far north as northern Tennessee, but recent research by Donald E. Sheppard and others have thrown doubt on this. They believe that de Soto and his men got as far north as Lake Michigan. Assuming that this is the case, I've drawn heavily on the site to produce the material for this page. de Soto's routes The traditional supposed route of de Soto is in red, the new supposed route is in blue. For details of de Soto's journey through Indiana see Donald Sheppard's site. De Soto landed in Florida on 25th May 1539. After spending a couple of weeks setting up camp he and his approximately 500 men started their historic trek northwards. They reached and crossed the Ohio River into Indiana, near the point of the present day Evansville, on 8th June 1541. On 24th June they'd reached the site of present day Vincennes. On 29th June 1541 they reached the town of Pacaha, on the site of present day Terre Haute. Pacaha was also the name of the chief of the place. The following pasages are taken from Donald Sheppard's site :- Chief Casqui and his people had escorted de Soto from Vincennes to Terre Haute, improving the bridge at Busseron Creek along the way between cities on unfriendly terms. De Soto sent word to Pacaha that he was coming with Chief Casqui and expected Pacaha to be there when they arrived. Pacaha fled, instead, "with all his people out the other side of town. The governor immediately entered and together with the men of horse charged ahead where the Indians were fleeing; and at another town situated a quarter of a league (half a mile) from that place captured many Indians. And as the horsemen captured them they delivered them over to the Indians of Casqui, who, being their enemies, carefully and with great pleasure took them to the town where the Christians were; and the greatest sorrow they had was in not having permission to kill them."

He provisionally signed onto an agreement that made De Soto Governor of Cuba and also of the land known as Florida. The King gave him seven ships, but only four years to colonize the region. The King allowed him to select what people he wanted for the journey, but Charles I forbade lawyers from joining the venture as "they were known to cause trouble over land titles and the division of crown spoils." With engineers, blacksmiths, and a host of skilled and semi-skilled men and their families that were fairly educated, the 44-year-old De Soto set sail for Cuba. Once there, he turned the duties of his office over to his wife, who was a capable administrator, and left with the expedition to Florida.

Native American Conquest American History For Teens Conquest A serious problem understanding Native American Conquest has been caused by a confusion of Hernando de Soto's motives. His main objective was not to find gold here, as has been suggested for centuries. He was already rich from Incan gold and wanted to colonize North America. DeSoto believed this continent was an island . He planned to control it by controlling its Great River from the Gulf of Mexico northward to what he believed was the Pacific Ocean. The prospects of opening a World trade route through his new colony to China lured DeSoto deep into America. DeSoto knew that a great circle of Earth drawn from Havana, Spain's strongest port in the New World, to China runs up America's Great River and crosses the Indians' Northern Sea. Coastal Indians had told previous Spaniards about the Northern Sea. DeSoto believed that settlers, first attracted to America by gold, would colonize the banks of America's Great River once the Indians were removed to the gold mines of Mexico. Settlers could then build ships at a port on the Northern Sea, about where Chicago is today, then sail that sea to China. The Mississippi River, with all of its giant tributaries, was called "

He is an explorer for Spain. Hernando, tell us about yourself. De Soto: I was born in Extremadura, Spain in 1500. I was only a teenager when I invaded Panama. I was inspired by Ponce de Leon, Balboa, and Magellan. Penzon: That is most interesting! I have heard you have explored North America. How did you decide to do that? De Soto: I had been drawn to the North American continent by stories of hidden cities that contained vast amounts of gold and silver. I carried many soldiers, horses, and dogs with me as I traveled. Penzon: Wow! How did you hear about this place? De Soto: I heard from Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca. He had come back after many years from the American continent. He told stories that he had heard about the great wealth that was to be found in the "Seven Cities of Cibola." My mouth watered at the thought of the gold and silver that was to be found. Penzon: That makes my mouth water too just hearing you talk about it.
