Stadacona

Stadacona was a St. Lawrence Iroquoian village near present-day Quebec City. In 1534 its chief Donnacona met Jacques Cartier, and two of the chief's sons accompanied the explorer across the Atlantic.

Cartier returned in 1535, and villagers taught his scurvy-stricken crew to prepare a healing broth that winter. In 1536 he seized Donnacona and other villagers and took them to France, where the chief died. Stadacona was later abandoned.
