La Salle's career in exploration began when he traveled to Quebec,Canada as a French colonist. In 1667 he was granted a large plot of land on Montreal island which he sold two years later in hopes of starting his career as an explorer. His goal was to find the northwest passage to Asia. La SALLE set up an exploration with nine canoes from Montreal Quebec in 1669. La SALLE and his crew were however not prepared for this expedition,but did reach Lake Ontario.
