I will also be talking about Samuel being back at fort. Champlain went on a ship called Bonne Renommee with a group people which the leader was Aymar de Chaste. Aymar didn’t like to do fur trades which was at a place called New France. Tadoussac was not a good settlement for Champlain fur trade, but Tadoussac stay at that fur trade place. Montagnais and other Algonkian would try and wait to find a better trade for their fur. The Indigenous people were spending their time to hunt fur for the Europeans, and they were trading with the Europeans for food than gathering for themselves.”In 1604 Samuel confirmed French claims to the region.

    Summary: The Micmac People

    In the late 1600’s, the Micmac peoples had established a relationship with the French settlers in the Gaspé peninsula. Chrestien LeClrecq was a missionary to this land for a period of time and had learned the language of the Micmac during his stay. In this compelling source of an interpreted conversation between a Micmac leader and some of the gentleman of Isle Percée, we can gather that the French people’s feeling of being more superior than the Micmac, did not match up with how the Micmac viewed the French. The accurate and unbiased translation of the speech given shows us the captivating and less heard opinion of the Micmac peoples.…

    France was a late player in the settling game of the New World. During the 1500s it was ravaged by wars and internal conflict, most of these were caused from the Roman Catholics at odds with the Protestant Huguenots. Also, once the colonies were created settlers did not stay, many either came home or never trekked out into the wild. There were very few reasons to travel to the colonies for the French. This is because the colonial government was under direct rule of the crown. The one gain that could be obtained by immigrating to the colonies was religious freedom. However, France would not allow the passage of the prosecuted Huguenots. The main trade was Canada’s fur; not the most profitable. Although fur was very popular in America, and had great potential to succeed. The lack of settlers and the large land area controlled by the French could not be efficiently occupied or fortified. France was suffering from many struggles back in Europe yet the insufficient number of settlers prohibited the French from maintaining their land through the wars (the French and Indian war) and conflicts.…

    The society of New France was circled around key components such as life on the farm, brief visits they made to the main settlements, and the hold that the Catholic church applied to their spiritual needs. The main business in New France at the time was the Fur trade. The fur trade was extremely important and played a huge role in the historical development of New France, being the lure of the resources that convinced the French to establish a permanent residence in the St. Lawrence River Valley in the early 17th century. The French were also motivated to expand into the Great Lake regions, the Mississippi, Ohio, Illinois river valleys and the Hudson Bay watershed. Although the fur trade was huge in business, not everyone helped out with it.…

    Samuel de Champlain was a soldier and navigator, and was extremely interested in the “Americas” In 1604 he was an assistant to the Sieur de Monts. De Monts was a French noble appointed by the king of France to set up trading posts in Canada. Champlain was given control of the Fur trade in exchange for establishing a French colony. Champlain, De Monts and approximately 60 settlers set up their first trading post called “port Royal” in 1605. Unfortunately Port Royal was not a great success, for that reason De Monts lost control of the Fur trade. Despite Champlain’s’ luck he was convinced that Canada was profitable. In 1608 he led an expedition arriving in what is now Quebec. It was there he met the Algonkians and Montagnais. Champlain set up a post (or habitation) because of the geographical advantages of this region, such as towering cliffs. This location was an almost unconquerable natural fort. Champlain allied with the Algonkians and Montagnais, in return they would not trade furs with the English. Champlain also met the mighty Huron nation; they told him that furs could be found in their territory as well. The two mighty nations eventually made an alliance…
