Jacques Cartier embarked on three significant voyages to the New World in the 16th century. His first voyage in 1534 led him to Hochelaga (present-day Montreal), where he traded and feasted with the Iroquoians. Following encounters with scurvy, the Native people used pine bark to cure his crew. Cartier later kidnapped Chief Donnacona, bringing him to France as proof of the New World. His subsequent voyages faced challenges, including conflict with Natives in Stadacona and deception with false treasures. Cartier died in 1557 in St. Malo.
