Samuel de Champlain and New France
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWdOQE459vg
The Europeans call the new continent (Canada) the New World.
Champlain comes to Canada to create a permanent French settlement.
Indigenous people were friendly to Europeans. They helped them.
Champlain came with 27 men to the New World
France wanted to dominate the fur trade - needed the settlement in Canada for that.
Champlain kills a disloyal man so others would listen to him.
Champlain builds the first settlement/one building and calls it New France; the city is Quebec.
Winter 1608- Champlain’s men get sick from scurvy and malnourishment.
20 men die out of 27.
Chief Oshasteguin of the Wendat Confederacy meets with Champlain to negotiate fur trade so that his people can dominate over the Hodanasone peoples.
New France sides with Wendat and wins the battle over St.Lawrence over Hodanasone.
Now there is a monopoly over the fur trade in the area.
Took 40 days to bring fur back to France
