The Fur Trade, Missionaries and Allies to Assimilation

First Nations and The Fur Trade

- Economic basis for New France and exploration of the West. (Canada)

- Hudson Bay and the St. Lawrence were used to import and export.

- In the spring trappers would take the furs to the posts for exchange.

- Hardware, tobacco, guns, knives, cloth, liquor and blankets were traded for furs.

- Welcoming ceremonies happened before trading took place.

- The trading visit took only a few weeks- the rest of the year First Nations peoples followed their usual activities of fishing, hunting, socializing and following their religion.

-Some took on a role with the Europeans as "go-betweens"  (traders). Others were hunters, canoe paddlers, and snowshoe makers.

- Woman "dressed" leather, collected wood, erected tents, made clothes/ shoes, wove nets, brought water, cleaned and cooked food.

-  Women also married traders and acted as interpreters and diplomats. The mixed marriage "created" the Metis. (mixed European and First Nations)

- Men had to award a "bride price" to the woman's parents (trade goods, a horse, and parent's permission.)  This furthered a friendly alliance between the First nations and the Europeans.

- Negative consequences were that European diseases were introduced some traditional ways were abandoned, and a reliance on trade with the Europeans developed.

- Positive consequences included introduction of new ways of doing things, advanced hardware, and partnership in developing the fur trade and society.

Aboriginal Peoples and Missionaries

- Jesuits (Black Robes) were the first to come over.

- First Nations tolerated missionaries; fearing rejection would lead to stopping of trade.

- Missionaries also acted as schoolteachers, Doctors, priests and "police"

- Missionaries believed that their religion was "truth" and to convert First nations, they tried to move them into villages and a farming way of life.

- In the 19th century Residential Schools were created to take children away from their parents, while the aim was to abandon traditional Aboriginal ways.

- The schools were unhealthy, featuring illness, abuse, loss of culture and personal identity.

- Schools closed in the 1980s.

- Negative effects of Missionaries on First Nations were they tried to change their way of life, and produced significant negative consequences.

- Aboriginal Canadians recognized a change in lifestyle was going to happen, and signing, "_________" with  the government would be a good idea. However, the government failed to provide seed, equipment, etc as agreed upon, and the land given, was often __________, while good land was awarded to _____ ___________.

- In 1969 Prime Minister ________ ________ ________, tried to remove the "special status" for First Nations people, by dissolving the Indian Act.  He believed it hindered, their inclusion into "__________" society.  First Nations peoples objected stating that the removal of such recognition would result in the destruction of their ________ through "assimilation."

- Recently (since 1989, with Manitoba leading the way) the concept of "Self- Government" for First Nations peoples is being realized. This allows for decisions effecting ______ ________to be administered by First Nations peoples. (Own Justice system, control over environment …fisheries, game, and "things that happen on their lands.")

In the 21st century, (2000 - current)  Self Government allowed reserves to to develop "_________" (South Beach casino,  Brokenhead reserve).  Secondly, a concept popular in Saskatchewan, where the same government provisions on a rural reserve, could be accessed in the city and is /was called an "_____ ________" ( a concept of a city block designed for use by First Nations peoples, providing employment, education, health service and housing in an urban area) Finally, awarding re-settled people in Northern lands along Power Dam construction sites in the North, could provide ______as a simple and practical way to promote prosperity among First Nations people.

Assignment # 6 The Structure of the Federal Government

Have you ever followed a road map? How about reading directions on baking a cake?, or building or putting together some object? You have... right?


OK on this assignment, we are going to complete an organizational "flow chart" on the structure of the Federal Government of Canada. The idea of a "flow chart," gives the reader a picture representation of the government organization. It tells us the components of the government, and who "reports to whom."



There are 10 components of the chart. It all starts with the Federal government at the top. Then there are 3 branches of organization, "branching" off of it. Then, off the 3 branches are 3 on the left, 2 in the middle and 1 on the right.



1.) "Federal Government" is the title "box"


Remember, this is an organizational chart, and it represents who "works together," and "who reports to whom." Info should be available on line, but is also available from two charts in your class textbook, on Canadian History. (Now a note of caution...the two charts from the text must be used, and you must use some common sense to accurately fill out this flow chart. That means you can't copy it directly out of the text, as it would be incorrect. )Good Luck!


Here is what you have to put in each of those boxes. Place the following into the correct areas.


Judicial, Prime Minister, Governor General, Cabinet, Supreme Court, Senate, and House of Commons.


Remember......"who works with who" and who reports to whom, or is under what "above branch" in the flow chart.


Wow!!!.... Does this sound confusing? You not only have to follow the above directions, you have to do research, and then complete the chart according to the two clues provided.

Ready, set, go!
