The+People+&+The+land

**__ 1. First Nations Peoples and the land __**
**__ Ownership of the land and Technologies: __** ** The first nations people treated the land like it was another person. They believed that the land was everyones to use and that they could use it to sustain them but they had to give back to the land in some way. Everyone had a right to use the land in whatever way they needed and no one person owned any specific part of land. The developed many ways to adpat to the land. The first nations made things like clothes out of buffalo pelts to keep them warm in the winter. They also created many different types of tools to help them like, arrows and bows to help with hunting. They also were able to read the land to use it for hunting. **

**__ 2. ﻿A "Storehouse" of resources: North America and Europe __**
** 2. a) There were many reasons why the Europeans arrived in North America, they came for things like a better life, work, religious freedom. ** ** b)Some valuable commodities that the Europeans found were the fur trade, fishing waters. ** ** c) They saw land and they thought and felt that they would be able to take over it because that was something that was acceptable in Europe. **  ** d) The Europeans thought that they were far more advanced and felt they were a mcuh more civilized culture. They thought that the First Nations people that were living in North America were savages. They thought these things because they had technologies that they viewed were more advanced and better than those of the First Nations people in North America. **

**__ 3. The Fur Trade: Pattern of Exploitation __**
** 1. An English Explorer: The next first person to set foot on present day Canada was John Cabot. Although sailing for England Cabot was actually Italian- from the city of Venetia. Like Columbus,, John Cabot's 1497 journey as searching for a quicker passage to Asia. It took Cabot fifty-two days to reach what he thought to be the northern tip of Asia. In 1498 Cabot returned to the “lands of the Grand Khan”. This time he met Indiana’s and traded with them for furs and fish He then sailed south in search of Japan but was unable to find it. Cabot did succeed in claiming the northern coast of North America for England. **

** 2. A French Explorer: Jacque Cartier sailed North America in 1534. On his second journey Cartier tried to find a passage through he continent. On this journey Cartier stayed at Stadacona as a guest of Chief Donacona. Cartier's next voyage was one of colonization. Along with Lietenant-Governor Roberval Cartier set up a colony. Cartier's colony faced many problems such as Roberval not arriving, winter cold, and increasingly hostile natives- Donacona had not returned seeing he died in France. **

** b) The relationship was they didn't know what the other ones did or where they lived. They also did not know what kind of things that the other groups had or didn't have. The technologies that the Europeans had were very different then that of the North American Indians had. The First Nations people were a little bit scared of the Europeans and what their intentions were. **

** Who benefited more from the relationship? Big Question?? **
