    Building Noah’s Arch would be simpler than trying to catalog the history of Native North Americans in one six-hundred-word academic argument and any effort to do it justice would be futile. Using simplicity and generalities, the narrative of natives in North America is best summed up as a complicated, sophisticated, series of relationships built on mutual survival. Building and preserving trade networks was central to that survival. Peace and conflict frequently resulted as resolutions to these issues. Natives, similar their European counterparts, attempted to manipulate circumstances for their own benefit to strengthen their grip on the trade routes that dominated early American history.…

    Europeans encountered many people on their journeys but no one quite like the Indians. The Indians in America at this time were established, wise, and survivors. The Indians were in great shape before the “discovery” of America. However, when Europeans started to move into Indian Territory things became intense. Europeans felt as if they were more successful than the Indians; they pressed their views, trades, and culture upon Indians as if they were rulers of the land.…

    The Huron people felt strongly about their newfound religion and flourished with it. Despite the French’s brutality against those who did not share their practices back in their homeland, the explorers sent to these regions seemed much more tolerant and understanding. The French even seemed to see the Huron people as their equals, and it was not uncommon for a French person to take part in marriage with a Huron native. Their cultures blended well with little internal…

    When combined, these four factors have altered Indigenous economies, societies, and cultures. First Nations peoples hunting and trapping techniques were changed after the invention of iron tools and weapons, having a huge impact on economic wealth but also increased reliance on European trade products. The epidemics decreased the Native American populations by 80-85 percent and have had an impact on their societies as it has increased their vulnerability in the fur trading economy and upset their custom patterns of life. To add on, First Nations women were many things, such as labourers, traders, and negotiators, and were crucial to Indigenous people’s survival in the fur trade by empowering them with their leadership. Lastly, trading posts had a massive impact on settlement patterns, and because of this, trading activity was high for First Nations communities.…

    Miller identifies how First Nations had been important military allies for the European powers. They were treated with respect and the government made no effort to interfere with their governance or way of life. After the War of 1812, things changed. Miller states that “now that First Nations were no longer military useful, British planners had hoped to pen them up on reserves, switch their hunting-gathering-trading economy to settled agriculture convert them to Christianity, school their children, and to effect this assimilation so far as possible with their own money.” Miller goes on to argue that the government attacked first Nations’ identity, governance, land-holding, economic activity and cultural practices.…

    Hello, and welcome to “Learn More, Teach More.” It has been more than five centuries since Christopher Columbus reached the Americas. We know a great deal about Columbus, of course, and about the Europeans and Africans who crossed the Atlantic after him. We know much less about the “Indians,” as Columbus mistakenly called them—the people already living in America. But we are learning more all the time, so I want to talk about early contacts between Native Americans and newcomers.…

    Throughout history, mankind attempted to explore and discover everything in this world. The Europeans, for example, attempted to discover further than Europe. From Western Europe, the French reached Canada, and since then, many changes were occurred to Canada’s natives. Since the first encounter between the French settlers and Indigenous people, numerous drastic and irreversible changes to the land and society occurred. These changes include the creation of a complex and interdependent relationship between both groups. For example, the French were introduced to a completely different environment, where the natives had to face and adjust to an entirely different race in their land. The aboriginals were fascinated by the French’s unique merchandize…

    Even though the first colony of European explorers (in the 11th century) was short lived, this marked the very beginning of a tremendous change in the lives of the Canada’s Indigenous people for many generations to come. A change that may not have been within the reach of their imagination; one that resulted into a cultural genocide. This is a brief timeline of the history of how the Europeans colonized and took over the land and territories from the Indigenous people:…

    Jim Kanepetetek Case Study

    The Cree people have an important part within Canadian history. I will prepare an essay based on important points as well as the maintenance of both oral and written history. In the following, I will highlight portions of Cree history to establish an understanding of such a rich culture. I will focus on the teachings of Jim Kanepetetew and how “The Ten Treaty Sticks” have established a foundation of Cree culture. As a basis for guidelines, I will follow the oral teachings of Jim Kanepetetew. As per Jim Kanepetetew of the Onion Lake First Nation, there are unwritten words of history. In this case, where Kanepetetew explains “The Ten Treaty Sticks” it is clear the Cree people had instilled their own culture and beliefs within the treaties and for this essay’s purposes, I will examine the extended implication these practices have had on the Cree people both pre- and post-contact. From this I will create adapt these teachings to those covered throughout the class material.…
