EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative terrain map, dated 1535, captures the historic encounter between French explorer Jacques Cartier and the indigenous people of the Township of Hochelaga. The circular collection of buildings, surrounded by a wooden palisade on either side, represents the native settlement that Cartier and his crew discovered during their exploration of the New World. The St. Lawrence Iroquoian people, depicted at the bottom of the map, are shown mingling and greeting their French counterparts, symbolizing the first recorded interaction between European settlers and the indigenous peoples of Canada. The map, titled "Hochelaga Visited by Cartier," offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the architectural and cultural landscape of the time. This intriguing artifact, which has been meticulously preserved, is an essential addition to any collection focusing on the history of exploration, the New World, or the early settlement of Canada. The circular design of the town and the harmonious coexistence of the French and Iroquoian people serve as a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to shape our world today.
