1b. Remember to answer 1a before you do this question. Who is he? What is his nationality? What is his background?
(c. 1575[1] – 25 of December 1635), "The Father of New France", was a French navigator, geographer, cartographer, draughtsman, soldier, explorer, ethnologist, diplomat, chronicler, and the founder of Quebec City on July 3, 1608, of which he was the administrator for the rest of his life.
Backgrond:He was born in Brouage, near Rochefort, in the Province of Saintonge, France: Champlain reported to be "Brouageais" (to come from Brouage) into the title of his 1603 book. He belonged to either a Protestant family, or a tolerant one, in a Protestant region but a catholic city, as his Old Testament first name (Samuel) was not usually given to Catholic children.
2. What is his relationship with Canada? Why is he important to Canada?
Samuel is important to Canada because he was a French explorer and navigator who mapped much of northeastern North America and started a settlement in Quebec. Champlain also discovered the lake named for him and was important in establishing and administering the French colonies in the New World.He was an early explorer of the great lakes, associated waterways and an excellent cartographer. His explorations led to the founding or Qubect City and he more or less singlehandedly, opened up the north american fur trade. That in itself led to further exploration by others and the establishment of fur trading posts further and further into the interior.
3. When did he explore? What was happening during history at this time?
On his first trip to North America, Champlain arrived on board the Bonne-Renommée (the Good Fame) on 15 March 1603.1603 traditionally marks the point at which ‘English’ and ‘Scottish’ history became ‘British’ history, with the coronation of James VI of Scotland as James I of England. The seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were a period during which the “Three Kingdoms” of Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) along with Ireland became more closely economically, socially, politically and culturally tied together, sometimes peaceably and sometimes through great spasms of violent conflict. Together their regionally oriented economies and societies became linked to the furthest parts of the globe in large part through the growth of London. By the nineteenth century, the sun famously never set on the British Empire and it would be at the center of two World Wars in the twentieth.
4. Where did he explore? Find a map to help you answer this question. Post the map here and then explain.
He explored the New Franch.On March 29, 1613, arrived back in New France, he first ensured that his new royal commission be proclaimed. Champlain set out on May 27 to continue his exploration of the Huron country and in hopes of finding the "northern sea" he had heard about (probably Hudson Bay). He traveled the Ottawa River, later giving the first description of this areaIt was in June that he met with Tessouat, the Algonquin chief of Allumettes Island, and offered to build the tribe a fort if they were to move from the area they occupied, with its poor soil, to the locality of the Lachine Rapids 5. Why did he explore? What were his reasons for exploration?
He wanted to discover a water route across the American continent!
He was the founder of Quebec with out him there would be no Quebec
He was sent by King Henri IV and set up trading posts. He set up the posts Port Royal, and Kebec (Algonquin word for Quebec, where the river narrows). I think that he was sent mostly to make settlements for France, to gain more land.
