What he did
The First Time Around
Cartier became famous by going on three major voyages. He sailed the S.T. Lawrence river for all three of his voyages. Here is how his first voyage went. On his first voyage he arrived at the mouth of S.T. Lawrence river and met Iroquois. They told Jacques and his crew of a wealthy kingdom that had riches and gold. He found this wealthy kingdom but what he wasn’t true instead of riches and gold he found fool’s gold (A mineral that is a brassy yellow that fools people into thinking it’s real gold.) The Iroquois were wrong about a wealthy kingdom.
