Donnacona
Donnnacona (died 1539 or 1540, in France) was the chief of the  St. Lawrence Iroquois village of Stadacona. The village was located where Quebec City is currently. French explorer Jacques Cartier made three trips to what is now Canada. In 1534, he discovered the bay near Gaspé, Quebec (which was called Honguedo  at the time). He took two hostages, Domagaya and Taignoagny and returned to France. He came back the following year, with the hostages. They showed him where the St. Lawrence River was. They went up the river, to their father's village,  Stadacona, where they passed the winter. Cartier called Donnacona Agohanna, a local word for chieftain.
