Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac (1658–1730) was a French explorer and adventurer in New France, now an area of North America stretching from Eastern Canada in the north to Louisiana in the south. Rising from a modest beginning in Acadia in 1683 as an explorer, trapper, and a trader of alcohol and furs, he achieved various positions of political importance in the colony. In 1701, he founded Fort Pontchartrain du Détroit, the beginnings of modern Detroit, which he commanded until 1710. Between 1710 and 1716 he was the governor of Louisiana, although he did not arrive in that territory until 1713.
During his last visit to the land that is now the city of Detroit, he buried some treasure that he collected during his journeys around the area. You as history scholars have just discovered the path to the treasure and need to provide directions to your fellow archeologists (the Math Students) so they can claim the treasure for the local museum.
