Q:Did the explorers find the waterway across the American Continent?

The first people to arrive in the region that is now Canada probably came from Asia across the Bering Strait during the close of the last of the Ice Ages. By AD 1600 more than 250,000 of their descendants lived in the region.

The first Europeans to come to North America were probably the Icelandic colonizers of Greenland, who, according to Icelandic stories, reached the North Atlantic coast about AD 1000. The 1497 voyage to Newfoundland of John Cabot, a Venetian in English service, inspired a series of further explorations. During the 1530s and 1540s the French explorer Jacques Cartier sailed up the Saint Lawrence River seeking a Northwest Passage, a waterway across the American continent. English explorers Sir Martin Frobisher in the 1570s and Henry Hudson (in Dutch service) in 1610 and 1611 continued the fruitless search.
