Lesson 1B - Generalization and Rationale

Generalization

Contact between people in Canada's early history prior to and during exploration and settlement brought changes to life on the Prairies. Contact frequently resulted in competition, conflict and cooperation.

Rationale

Students will study the history of the fur trade through the experiences of Aboriginal People. The contact era and the onset of the fur trade and settlement was a tumultuous time for all Aboriginal People. While some groups were not affected until the fur trade expanded, it must be recognized that the lives of Aboriginal People across Canada were vastly impacted by the introduction of European goods, the fur trade and ensuing settlement.
