The Wisconsin Archeological Society Presents: Dr. Patrick Jung

The French regime in the western Great Lakes region began when the explorer and diplomat Jean Nicolet visited Green Bay in 1634. Over the next 129 years, the French maintained a presence in Wisconsin that included Jesuit missionaries, military and governmental officers, and fur traders who established permanent settlements at Green Bay, Prairie du Chien, and other locations. The French developed close relations with the Native societies in the region. Both the French and the Native peoples engaged in activities as varied as trade, warfare, and marriage. This talk details the significant events and phenomenon that characterized the French regime in Wisconsin.
