Chief Donnacona (died c. 1539 in France) was the chief of the village of Stadacona, located at the present site of Quebec City, Canada.〔 〕 French explorer Jacques Cartier, concluding his second voyage to what is now Canada, returned to France with Donnacona. Donnacona was treated well in France but died there.〔 〕 Later Cartier would make a third voyage to the same area. ==Cartier's first voyage== Jacques Cartier made three voyages to the land now called Canada, in 1534, 1535 and 1541. In late July 1534, in the course of his first voyage, he and his men encountered two hundred people fishing near Gaspé Bay.〔 〕 Cartier's men erected a "thirty foote" cross which provoked a reaction from the leader of this fishing party. After some presentation of gifts to the people there, he left the area the next day, with two men on board, Domagaya and Taignoagny, from the fishing party. He returned to France with them, concluding his first voyage in September 1534.〔 Some sources say that these men were the sons of Donnacona and the fishing party's leader was Donnacona himself,〔 although the original 16th-century report does not mention this.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Donnacona」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
