Archaeological evidence indicates that indigenous peoples of Canada, such as the Beothuk, visited Saint Pierre and Miquelon. However, there is no evidence they settled on the islands permanently.[citation needed] On 21 October 1520, the Portuguese explorer João Álvares Fagundes landed on the islands and named the island group they were part of the "Eleven Thousand Virgins", as the day marked the feast day of Saint Ursula and her virgin companions.[1] In 1536, the French explorer Jacques Cartier claimed the islands as a possession of France.[2] Though already frequented by the Mi'kmaq and by Basque and Breton fishermen, the islands were not permanently settled until the end of the 17th century: four permanent inhabitants were counted in 1670, and 22 in 1691.[3][2]
