Since Time Immemorial: “Our Story”
The Story of Kitigan Zibi Anishinàbeg
“In 1951, Cartier made his third and final voyage to Turtle Island. Spain had
already claimed the southern-most regions of Turtle Island and to counter
this, the King of France ordered Cartier to establish a settlement along the St.
Lawrence in the name of France. Cartier brought with him a few hundred
French Colonists, mainly convicted felons, and they built a settlement, which
they named Charlesbourg-Royal, not far from Stadacona. After the
kidnapping of Donnaconna, the Stadaconans were angry and they prepared
to defend their territory. Cartier again failed to cross the Lachine Rapids. He
believed that beyond these rapids lay the great passage to the Orient. That
spring, Cartier sailed for France with his colonists, never returned to Turtle
Island. In July of 1542, sieur de Roberval landed at Charlesbourg-Royal with
150 colonists to build a permanent settlement. Angry Stadaconans attacked
and besieged them inside their settlement. Over the winter of 1543, the
besieged French became sick with scurvy and more than fifty of them died. In
the spring, Roberval and his survivors returned to France. After that, France
lost interest in the New World until sixty years later, when furs became
important to the European economy.”
