Section Two - Part C Louis Joliet Louis Joliet was born in Québec in 1645. Joliet was the first important explorer born of European descent in Canada. He was trained in a Jesuit seminary but left the seminary for unknown reasons and traveled to France where he studied map making. After one year in France, Joliet returned to Canada where he met the Jesuit priest Jacques Marquette. Jacques set up a mission near the western end of Lake Superior. When the attacks by the Sioux indians lead the Huron indians to leave the area, Marquette followed the indians and set up a new mission to the northern shore of the straits of Mackinac. These explorers had heard the rumors of a large river that they hoped to discover and that would lead them to the Pacific. Marquette stayed at the mission and sent Joliet with a team of five men to explore. Joliet and his men decided that the river would let out in the Gulf but they continued on. Joliet is responsible for great explorations for Canada but his journal and diaries were lost when his canoe was overturned in the Montréal rapids and the only record that remained was a diary that was reputedly written by Marquette and not Joliet.
