Explorer Accomplishments
Some accomplishments of Jacques Cartier were : discovering and naming the St. Lawrence River. Also going three times back and forth from France to Canada and from Canada to France. Also making a settlement near what is now Quebec.
Cartier actually was the first European to call this land "Kanata". He heard it from the two Indian Youths. "Kanata" means "village" or "settlement". Now a days this settlement is Quebec City. This is why French is the official language in Canada.
