A presentation by Roger Mummert of www.theparisproject.net in association with the Federation of Alliances Françaises USA

Event begins at 1pm PT / 2pm MT / 3pm CT / 4pm ET

Among the first Europeans to reach North America were French explorers and cartographers. The French established a unique relationship with Native Americans, who led them deep into this vast continent and revealed its riches. The maps created from their explorations fundamentally impacted how colonizers would lay claim to enormous portions of North America—and how emerging nations would later redefine those claims.
