ST. LUSSON, SIMON Francois Daumont,
Sieur de, French officer, lived in the 17th century. He was the deputy of the
intendant of the French government in Canada, Jean Talon, who on 3 September,
1670, commissioned him to search for copper-mines and confer with the tribes
about Lake Superior. Nicolas Perrot, who had visited the lake country a few
months before, accompanied him as interpreter. On 5 May, 1675, St. Lusson
concluded a treaty, with imposing ceremonies, in the presence of the Jesuit
missionaries then in Upper Canada, at Sault Ste. Marie, with the princilpal
chiefs of the Sauks, Menomonees, Pottawattamies, Winnebagoes, and other tribes,
seventeen in all, and formally took possession of the region surrounding Lakes
Huron and Superior in the name of the king of France. The costly presents to the
Indians and other expenses of the expedition were more than repaid by the gifts
of furs that he received in return.
