Mitten: Father Jacques Marquette
Father Jacques Marquette began his journey in Canada, as a missionary sent to convert native people to Christianity. He worked in Sault Ste. Marie with Odawa and Ojibway Indians, and then was sent farther west, eventually being sent to explore what is now the Mississippi River. Although he died during his return to St. Ignace on the eastern shores of Lake Michigan, he left a legacy of exploration.
