The document discusses the relationships between European powers and Native American tribes in North America from the 1600s-1700s. The French established fur trading posts along waterways like the St. Lawrence River and formed partnerships with tribes like the Huron and Algonquin for trade. They had a more cooperative relationship with natives compared to other colonizers. The French also sought to convert native tribes to Christianity through missionary efforts. Over time, as European colonies expanded and competed for resources, tensions grew between some natives and colonizers like the French and Iroquois.

2. Canada and Iroquoia
• Explorers from England, France, and other Europeon
countries sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to find
economic prosperity.
• Trade with Native Iroquois, a tribe that survived as
Hunter-Gatherers; Natives became more dependent on
European goods.
• French colonies establishing central trading post at the
mouth of the St. Lawrence River.
• Allied selves with new native tribes: the Algonquians

3. • Establishment of the fur trade attracted the Native
Americans and regular consumers.
• Fur trade also invited other European colonies to
trade with natives, which would lead to an
increase in competition.
• French, who later moved fur trade more north,
established good relationships with natives,
including the Huron, Montagnais, and the
Algonkin tribes.

4. • Establishing good trade partners with natives was
not without making a few enemies in the process.
• Introduction of firearms to the natives
dramatically changed Native American military
tactics.
• France Colonies and their allies in the north fought
against the southern tribes, including the Iroqouis.

5. • In addition to economic purposes, the
French also saw colonization in North
America as an opportunity to spread the
Christian faith.
• These people were known as the Jesuits.
• Some of the French Colonists made Native
American conversion their solitary
mission.
• By the 17th century, the French
colonies, and trade was
endangered by intensifying
warfare from the Iroquois

6. French America
• The French monarchy sent emigrants to North
America.
• French people seek to emigrate from the poor rural
life, but new French policies would limit people
from settling in North America.
• Emigrants who did come to America from France
were given jobs as soldiers, merchants,
or people to help spread religion.

7. • French colonizes established in the United States as
south as Louisiana.
• 80 percent of the French Colonists were farmers.
• On these farms, the male and female roles
intertwined as both assumed equally demanding
work.
• Different policies from British colonies in terms of
marriage, childbearing, and welfare.

8. • Significant French colony set up in the Louisiana
territory.
• Original control of the France Louisiana
belonged to French General- turned emperor,
Napoleon Bonaparte.
• To pay expenses for his wars, Napoleon decided to
sell the territory, which would eventually end up
as part of a large purchase by the United States.

9. • Tribes along the Gulf Cost and Mississippi of
Louisiana consisted of small tribes.
• Tribes included the Ouacha, Mongoulacha,
Tohome, Atakapa, and many more.
• Native Americans were more critical to
France and English colonies than originally
thought.
