Etienne Flaring

Etienne Flaring , adventurous French born towards 1592, with Champigny-sur-Marne, the east of Paris, died about June 1633 with the Canada.

Very young party for the News-France, undoubtedly as of 1608, it was the first intermediary (interprets) Samuel de Champlain in Huron language . Carrying out a life of runner of wood, it remained at the Amerindian of 1611 until its fine tragedy of which it is impossible to specify the date, posterior with 1630 according to any probability.

Working for the account of companies of the furs which remunerated it to persuade the tribes to bring their skins to the draft, it did not remain about it less very independent, and its life remains surrounded by mysteries. True character of novels of adventures, it shared the life of the Huron , getting dressed like them, fascinating Indian women, having completely adopted their manners, their morals and their lifestyle. During all these years, he visited many regions, going towards the Canadian Big lakes (Higher Lac, Lac Érié…), going more to the south towards the current State of Pennsylvania, also pushing towards the North of the Huron country . Etienne Brûlé was the first European to be ventured in these regions: a tour however difficult to define, because it personally left us any hard copy, no chart of its peregrinations. But it is indisputable that it travelled in places whose paternity of the discovery was allotted later to others.

In 1629, after the rendering of Quebec to the English, it put at the service brothers Kirke. Shown treason by Champlain, it set out again then for the country of the Huron . No European was to re-examine it alive. He was assassinated by one (or several) member (S) of the Huron tribe of the Bear, for a reason which we will never know, and was eaten by these even of which he had shared the life during more than twenty years.

He is often regarded as the first Ontarian European and a park of Toronto bears its name. The historians also believe that he was the first European to visit the state of the Michigan (in 1620).
