Yes, Jacques Cartier kidnapped the Huron chief, Donnacona, in 1536 during his second voyage to Canada. Donnacona was taken to France to convince King Francis I to support future colonization efforts in the region. However, I should note that this action was typical of the power dynamics and interactions between European explorers and indigenous peoples during that time.
