History Pg. 54 (Q. 1,2,4,5) 55. (Q.2,3,4,5) 1. Some of the difficulties between the French & the Aboriginals would be communication. Communicating with one another using different methods due to the fact the languages that are spoken from both sides are not the same. For the French learning & adjusting, to the Aboriginal lifestyle because both life styles are quite different. Also, Trust might be a difficulty. There might be some trust issues between the French and the Aboriginal. I personally think all of the difficulties are difficult to master. But, trust is probably the most. Trust is what is keeping it all together & it’s important. Trust conceals a relationship. If there is trust issues it’s a bit uneasy and you’ll never know when the tables are going to turn against you in this matter. Like with Donnacona & Jacques Cartier, they had trust issues and in the end Jacques Cartier turned the tables against Donnacona. But, sometimes it can become an “accusation” because sometimes things seem like as it is but it’s not. Basically, it’s like when it looks like an individual does something wrong, but there’s more to the story they didn’t actually do something wrong. So practically the actions each the French and Aboriginal make, affects their trust positively or negatively. Their actions might contradict, so they have to be cautious about it.

2. Possible problems Cartier’s crew might have encountered. * Weather * Illness/Diseases * Trust issues * Mutinied * Lack of Resources * Encountered Creatures (Whales etc.) * State of Ship (Damage) * Missing Loved Ones I personally find Illness/Diseases most difficult to deal with because it can take many lives of the crew. Illness/Diseases were commonly found when going on a Voyage, like scurvies. These illnesses in some cases the cure are not known based on the knowledge of the crew and Captain’s knowledge. Diseases/Illnesses limit the crew &

    MLA Bibliography: The Secret River

    This rapport also carries other connotations: that if the settlers were more willing to make peace, and if there were to be less violence, the colonists could actually have learnt and benefited from the Aborigines’ knowledge. The communication difficulties could potentially have been overcome and the bloodshed avoided. “Dick did not move. He’s showing us how you make fire, Da, he called back. No flint of nothing. Thornhill had heard about this business of making fire by rubbing two sticks together…he went over, prepared to enjoy this bit of tomfoolery.” From this, we can learn how Thornhill is not willing to learn from the Aborigines’ connection with the land, while Dick is more…

    Religion in New France

    Canada has a rich history that revolves around those who arrived first in the New World. French explorers were always attempting to develop a religious and profitable economy with the Aboriginals at some point in the midst of settling in their new surroundings. The founding of New France, the missionaries, and the original traditions and customs of the Natives were important influences on the success of converting the area to Catholicism. Religion was a very important aspect of French culture in these early stages of colonization. Throughout these stages, French Jesuits and Ursalines commissioned by King Louis XIII played a major role in developing religion in New France. The founding of New France had a major religious impact on the Aboriginals. The missionaries were partly successful in the conversion of Aboriginals to Catholicism. However, not all Natives were willing to convert, and this created problems with the French and other Native tribes.…

    Samuel de Champlain

    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…

    Jacques Cartier Research Paper

    The aboriginal population are one of the most violently oppressed groups in Canada’s History. Some say to advance as a society and reach an equal ground we have to move on looking to a bright future, but some would say to move on we need to address the issues caused by the past that still shadow aboriginal communities today. I firmly believe that to solve the problem, we must fully realise it. I am inclined to believe that this is the land God gave to Cain. “ - Jacques Cartier. This quote from famed Canadian explorer Jacques Cartier explains his thoughts on the land found by him and his crew. It started in 1534, Jacques Cartier a french explorer took one small step for man and pushed the Canadian indigenous 50 steps back. Exploring the St. Lawrence river, Cartier set base. One year later he would find what is now Montreal, welcomed with open arms by the Iroquois people who were already settled there. Cartier and his men would soon continue to search north America for gold and diamonds. Cartier set a standard for Canadian exploration and would be followed by many others. History paints Cartier as a hero, despite the accounts of murder, rape and other crimes committed by him and his crew members. Looking back to the quote, an underlying entitlement based on faith and status must be acknowledged in able to see why the problems are still…

    Alexis De Tocqueville

    In 1835, Alexis de Tocqueville wrote, "Upon my arrival in the United States, the religious aspect of the country was the first thing that struck my attention.” Throughout America’s existence, religion in any form has been a principle foundation in the country. If the very reason for so many people flocking to America was to flee religious persecution, it is no surprise that these religious or spiritual beliefs would find their way into the literature of the country. This stake in America’s structure has led the rhetoric of the country to change as the country’s view on these beliefs shift between the eras. Whether it was focused on God or a general sense of spirituality, they both had an important part in shaping the ideals and morals of the…

    Louis the XIV

    Louis the XIV was king of France from 1693 to 1715. He was an example of how to rule for many of the political leaders of the 18th century. An absolute ruler is defined by seven traits. Pacify and subjugate nobles, and centralize power around oneself. Another is to make both money and war. Dominate culture, make religion and finally build something worthy of your glory. Two Enlightened despots that took after Louis were Joseph II of Austria and Peter the Great, Czar of Russia. Both rulers had enlightened and despotic characteristics. Yet Joseph was more Enlightened and Peter more despotic. Both characteristics were important to have a strong nation, but as Peter exemplifies having more despotic characteristics helps a ruler maintain power and strengthen the nation, more so then enlightened ones. Joseph II takes full power in 1780 after his mother Maria Theresa dies, instantly he begins to institute many enlightened ideas. Joseph is radical and makes many changes to long withstanding traditions in Austrian society and government. First, he grants religious freedom and cuts off communication between his state clergy and Rome. Though Austria had always been staunchly Catholic, now a person of any religion could practice it freely. This is a very enlightened idea much before its time. Also, it was one of his only major changes which were kept after his reign ended. This was how Joseph II fits under the trait of making religion work for you; he actually tried to make it work for everyone. Another enlightened reform he implemented was a universal law code in which all Austrians have to follow the same rules and suffer the same punishments. He eliminates noble privileges, in matters like taxation, and crimes. This reform angered the nobility and almost put the nation in crisis. But it was one last reform which set off a spark of rebellion. Joseph II outlawed serfdom, he freed millions of peasants. They were free to go wherever, and choose…

    The movie Black Robe portrays both the French and the Indigenous as being sworn to their own beliefs, and ways of life. Neither side had any admiration to learn about each other. The French were more open minded in thinking that the Indigenous could change and learn the religion and ways of the Europeans, while the Indigenous Indians were certain the French could never learn to be as strong and as in touch with nature as the Indians were. The French went on a pursuit to change the Indians, whom had no intent to change and become like the French.…

    Jacques Cartier

    Jacques Cartier was a French explorer of Breton origin who claimed what is now Canada for France. He was the first European to describe and map the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and the shores of the Saint Lawrence River which he named “The Country of Canadas”. Cartier made three voyages to Canada in 1534, 1535-1536, and again in 1541-1542.The French king claimed a region called New France for his nation. New France included not only land covered by present-day Canada, but also parts of the present day northern United States. Although he explored the St. Lawrence River as far as the modern-day city of Montreal, he did not succeed in establishing a permanent colony North America. In this way Cartier is not strictly the European discoverer of Canada as this country is understood today, a vast federation stretching a mari usque ad mare (from sea to sea). Eastern parts had previously been visited by the Norse, as well as Basque, Galician and Breton fishermen, and perhaps the Corte-Real brothers and John Cabot (in addition of course to the Natives who first inhabited the territory). Cartier's particular contribution to the discovery of Canada is as the first European to penetrate the continent and more precisely the interior eastern region along the St. Lawrence River. His explorations consolidated France's claim of the territory that would later be colonized as New France, and his third voyage produced the first documented European attempt at settling North America since that of Lucas Vázquez de Ayllón in 1526-27.Cartier's professional abilities can be easily ascertained. Considering that Cartier made three voyages of exploration in dangerous and hitherto unknown waters without losing a ship, and that he entered and departed some 50 undiscovered harbors without serious mishap, he may be considered one of the most conscientious explorers of the period .Cartier was also one of the first to formally acknowledge that the New World was a separate land…

    Aboriginal Abuse in Canada

    Aboriginal Abuse in Canada

    Firstly, Aboriginals have not been honoured with the recognition that they rightfully deserve. For example, Aboriginals have not been treated as competent equals when negotiating land ownership treaties. In one instance “James Douglas… negotiated agreements… extinguishing Aboriginal title to the lands around Victoria, Nanaimo and Fort Rupert between 1850 and 1854… the entire Victoria area was obtained for 371 blankets” (Yellowhorn). The English took advantage of the language barrier between the two negotiating parties as well as the trust that the First Nations put into the political weight of the agreement and in doing so managed to perpetually hand Aboriginals the short end of the stick. Furthermore, First Peoples have been robbed of recognition regarding their contribution towards Canada’s history as a nation. Canada’s identity is built upon “the idea of two founding nations (English and French), and government support for (their) two (native) languages” (Yellowhorn). The failure to integrate the native languages of Aboriginals into Canadian knowledge at least at a basic level illustrates the divide of recognition in Canada. The country has neglected to acknowledge the prominent role of First Nations in their history and heritage. Therefore, Aboriginals have not been given the respect…
