After returning to Canada, he made his living trading furs near the Great Lakes  In  1672 the French governor in North America asked Jolliet and Marquette to explore the great river west of the Great Lakes—the Mississippi. They set out with five other men on May 17, 1673, in two canoes made of bark. They left from Saint Ignace in what is now the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. From Lake Michigan they entered the Fox River at Green Bay. They portaged, or carried their canoes and supplies, from the Fox to the Wisconsin River. Then they continued to the Mississippi  In July Jolliet and Marquette reached the mouth of the Arkansas River in what is now Arkansas. The Quapaw people there told them that the river flowed into the Gulf of Mexico. The explorers had hoped that the river would take them all the way to the Pacific Ocean. Jolliet and Marquette turned back and returned by way of the Illinois River. They became the first white men to visit what is now Illinoisolliet later explored Hudson Bay and some Canadian rivers. He died in the summer of 1700 near Quebec, Canada. =
