New France was established between 1604-1663 through seasonal exploitation of resources by Europeans. Samuel de Champlain founded Quebec City in 1608, making it the first permanent French settlement in New France. Champlain explored the St. Lawrence River region and formed an alliance with the Algonquin peoples against the Iroquois to the south. The settlement at Quebec City faced hardship during its first winter under Champlain in 1608-1609, as scurvy and dysentery took the lives of 75% of the original colonists. Champlain continued to act as leader and promoter of New France through his mapping, relationship building with indigenous peoples, and frequent trips back to France to garner support.
