2 Cultural Exchange Technology Scurvy Value Acculturation

3  Early interaction between Native people and European explorers was relatively friendly.  Became hostile (angry) when they understood that their old way of life could not survive with the arrival of so many strangers.  The struggle to establish peace and understanding between the people of the First Nations and the European settlers continued during the many centuries since Cartier's arrival

4  Europeans and Native groups exchanged technology and skills.  The Native groups taught Europeans survival skills such as hunting, trapping, snow shoeing, and canoeing.  Europeans supplied the Native people with goods such as tools, weapons, and cooking utensils.

5 Acculturation - is when two cultures meet and affect one another. Each culture might borrow ideas from one another or one culture may have a stronger influence. Ethnocentrism - This happens when people think their culture is best because they are used to it and it meets their needs.

6 Why is the above quote important? After reading page 26, discuss with a partner the above quote and answer the questions together. Be prepared to share your answers. Cartier reached the Gulf of St. Lawrence in 1534 and placed a cross on the Gaspé Peninsula that read “Long live the King of France”, claiming French control in North America.

7  A French explorer sent by the King of France, Francois I, to discover the riches of the New World.  He reached and explored what became known as Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island and the Gaspé Peninsula.  Cartier led three voyages to the St. Lawrence region in 1534, 1535-36 and 1541-42.

8  He attempted to establish permanent French settlement (colonize), but failed.  First explorer to map the St. Lawrence River.  Gave Canada its name when he misunderstood and misused the Iroquois word “kanata” (village)

9 Colonization – Colonization involves one country (historically called the mother country) bringing another separate region under its direct control. This was accomplished by establishing permanent settlements in the new region. They developed the areas resources to supply the mother country with raw material. – Mercantilism

10 What did colonization provide for the mother country? What did countries do with the colonies they created? Was this fair for the Native people already living there?

11 What did colonization provide for the mother country?  raw materials  cheap labor  power  Market for finished goods What did countries do with the colonies they created?  Controlled and governed them just like the mother country.  Gave them the right to control and trade in the newly settled areas. Gave them a monopoly (control) in the new area. Was this fair for the Native people already living there? NO
