Hélène Desportes: Hélène Desportes is often cited as the first white child born in Canada (New France) 1620 - Jun. 24, 1675.  There is considerable disagreement about when she was born and, in particular, if she was born in Quebec or just before she arrived on the continent.  Her parents were French habitants Pierre Desportes (1580- after 1629), who was in charge of the warehouse in Quebec as well as the village baker, and his wife Françoise Langlois (c1595- after 1629), who settled in Quebec.  Her father was a lawyer in the Parlement de Paris and an investor in the Company of 100 Associates which funded Champlain's colony.  Her godmother was Madame Hélène Boullé, the wife of Samuel de Champlain.  In his will, Champlain left her 300 livres (about $15,000 in 1997).

New Voyages to North America: New Voyages to North America is a book written by Louis Armand de Lom d’Arce, baron de Lahontan which chronicles the nine years Lahontan spent exploring New France as a soldier in the French Army.  The book, composed of two volumes, was published in 1703, originally in French as Nouveaux Voyages de Mr. le Baron de Lahontan dans l’Amérique Septentrionale.  An English edition was produced the same year.  The book is considered to be the best 17th century work on New France for its detailed descriptions of the environment as well as North American native society.  Lahontan’s work includes descriptions of the two winters he spent hunting with a group of the Algonquin people.  Lahontan expresses his opinions of New France and the natives as well as European society through his dialogue between himself and a fictional native, Adario, based on the Huron chief Kondiaronk.  Though fictional, this dialogue gives insight into his opinions of the native New France and Europe.  Both volumes provide valuable knowledge and information on the lands of New France from the perspective of a soldier in the French army as well as an explorer who explored the landscape, native peoples and developing economic, social, and political ties between the native peoples and French explorers.  The importance of the book is expressed by Gordon Sayre: “Lahontan takes a secular perspective throughout his writing which differentiates his works from those of the Jesuits that published during the same time he did”.  This book is an exploration narrative that tells an explorer's stories but also serves as a historical source for examining the American Indians in the New France region and the connections between the explorers and native peoples.

400th anniversary of Quebec City: Quebec City's 400th anniversary, celebrated in 2008, commemorated the founding of Quebec City in 1608 by Samuel de Champlain.  Quebec City is the oldest francophone city in North America.  Along with Acadia, the city represents the birthplace of French America.

Canada (New France): Canada was a French colony within New France discovered and named in 1535 during the second voyage of Jacques Cartier.  The word "Canada" at this point referred to the territory along the Saint Lawrence River, then known as the Canada river, from Grosse Island in the east to a point between Quebec and Three Rivers, although this territory had greatly expanded by 1600.  French explorations continued "unto the Countreys of Canada, Hochelaga, and Saguenay" before any permanent settlements were established.  Even though a permanent trading post and habitation was established at Tadoussac in 1600, it was under a trade monopoly and thus not constituted as an official French colonial settlement.  As a result, the first official settlement was not established within Canada until the founding of Quebec by Samuel de Champlain in 1608.  The other four colonies within New France were Hudson's Bay to the north, Acadia and Newfoundland to the east, and Louisiana far to the south.  Canada, the most developed colony of New France, was divided into three districts, Québec, Trois-Rivières, and Montréal, each with its own government.  The governor of the District of Quebec was also the governor-general of all New France.

Battle of Sorel: The Battle of Sorel occurred on June 19, 1610, with Samuel de Champlain supported by the Kingdom of France and his allies, the Wyandot people, Algonquin people and Innu people fought against the Mohawk people in New France at present day Sorel-Tracy, Quebec.  The forces of Champlain armed with the arquebus engaged and killed or captured nearly all of the Mohawks.  The battle ended major hostilities with the Mohawks for twenty years.

Don de Dieu (ship): Explorer Samuel de Champlain arrived on the ship Don de Dieu, or "Gift of God" to found Quebec in 1608.

Criminal Justice in New France: Criminal justice in New France was integral to the successful establishment of a French colonial system in North America.  New France was no stranger to criminal activity from its very roots.  In 1608, shortly after the founding of Quebec, Samuel de Champlain executed Jean Duval for allegedly leading a conspiracy against him.  By 1636, the citizens of Québec began to be charged for crimes such as blasphemy, drunkenness and failing to attend Mass.  As New France progressed, its legal institutions became more advanced.  Promulgated across the France and the French Empire in 1670, the Criminal Ordinance of 1670 provided a foundation for New France's criminal procedures and punishments.
