Answer: Sault Ste. Marie and St. Ignace, Michigan.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jacques Marquette (1637-1675) was a French-American Jesuit missionary. Marquette was born in Laon, France, but was assigned to New France in 1666. Two years later, he was moved to missions up the Saint Lawrence River in the Great Lakes region. The same year, he founded the mission at Sault Ste. Marie (present-day Michigan) together with Druillettes. He later founded St. Ignance and was the first European who mapped the northern part of the Mississippi River.
