New France: Jacques Cartier 1st and 2nd Voyages (1534-36)

In a time when Spain and Portugal laid claim to the entire non-Christian world, Jacques Cartier plunged himself into the realm of the St. Lawrence Iroquois. Searching for a westward passage he meets the mighty Chief Donnacona, and lies from both men spur a tale of abduction, scurvy, a winter spent frozen in ice, river going monsters, and the rumor of a Golden Kingdom.
I know i pronounce every name in this episode differently moment to moment, don't give me sass.

Underrated video series. Listening to these on my way back from the fortress of louisbourg, nova Scotia. Amazing

Yup

Have been enjoying your narratives but “Car-tee-ay” (the Second r is silent)

[@theotherstatesofamericahis5212]

I tried to split the English and French pronunciation right down the middle. Wait till you hear me pronounce Lalemant.

@@adamnoman4658 I do my best with those, but you could make a drinking game out of the many ways i pronounce Ousemequin

According to the Mi'kmaq legend, the cross was a symbol they used before contact with Christianity. That may explain the anger of the St. Lawrence Iroquois at the cross on the shore.

Thank you for this wonderful video. Can you also do one on all the treaties of land dominance of the Catholic Church, what later became the Acadians. But left from France, Portugal, Spain etc . Ended up in Nova Scotia and New Orleans. Because the Catholic Church killed all of the herbalist and cultural healers, medicine men/ women.

Can you list sources? Thanks

BTW, There used to be a TV commercial in Canada, about Cartier. It was a Jesuit communicating with a Mohawk. The Mohawk tells the Jesuit "Come to the Village", which in Mohawk is "Kanatakon". Pronounced "Ga nah da gohn" which sounds an awful like Canada.

Very interesting and cringe worthy how you butchered most of the names
