René Bréhant de Galinée was a member of the Society of Saint-Sulpice (Sulpician Order) at Montreal and an explorer and missionary to the Native Americans.
In 1670, he and François Dollier de Casson were the first Europeans to make a recorded transit of the Detroit River.
His map of the trip demonstrated that the Great Lakes were all connected.
École secondaire Père-René-de-Galinée French Catholic secondary school in Cambridge, Ontario is named after him.
