southwest passage

Explanation:

Jacques Cartier was a 16th-century French explorer whose voyages to North America were commissioned in part to find a western sea route to Asia, known as the Northwest Passage. The Mississippi River's source was not his focus, and the Southwest Passage is not the correct historical term for his objective.

Answer:

Northwest Passage
