Having been in North America long before the French, Indigenous groups developed many survival techniques suited to the continent’s characteristics.
Towards 1500, Europeans arrived and turned the lives of the Indigenous peoples upside down. For a century, Europeans conducted many expeditions in an attempt to discover the riches of the New World.
Intrigued by this ‘wild’ continent, various French kings tried to colonize the territory. This forced the French and Indigenous peoples to increasingly interact with one another, changing both groups’ way of life.
