Cartier returns on October 11 to Stadacona…

October 1535 CE

Cartier returns on October 11 to Stadacona after spending two days among the people of Hochelaga.

He records a word they had used to refer to their home: “They call a town, Canada”.

It is not known exactly when he decided to spend the winter of 1535–1536 in Stadacona, and it was by then too late to return to France.

Cartier and his men prepare for the winter by strengthening their fort, stacking firewood, and salting down game and fish.
