Acadian Natives

Both English and French have different reasons to be motivated in establishing a colony in the Americas. To the French, their main reasons for establishing a colony in the Americas seems to be their close connection with the fur trade.

In this paper I will discuss the history of the Cherokee Indians in the United States. First by describing the tribes pre-Columbian history to include the settlement dates and known cultural details. Then a brief description of the cultural and religious beliefs of the tribe will be given, as well as the tribe’s history after contact with settlers. Finally discussing John Ross, who he was and how he affected the Cherokee Indians.

British empire was in control of Canada, “a deep and complex transformation.” (Calloway, 112) British empire envision North America with field of action while the French spent the next two decade revenging on their loss with the Seven Years’ War and Treaty of Paris. Even though the French did not succeed in North America, eventually they migrated towards large swaths of Canada, The Great Lakes, and Mississippi Valley using their social systems and culture to survive. “The Interior French”, (Calloway, 123) were French-Canadian who lived beyond the Great Lakes country. They had formed an alliance within the Indians and having a good reputation with dealing goods. Louisiana went to Spain eventually, a few French migrated to Louisiana as a Peace of Paris. More settlers were French in Louisiana during the Spanish era instead of the French. Louisiana changes hand in Paris a couple times in 1763.

Colonists from France came to Canada and settled in Acadia also known as present day east coast colonies during the seventeenth century. The name given to the French colonists from the time of arrival to Canada was the “Acadians”. The Acadians from France continued their formal lifestyle by farming, fishing and maintaining a close family oriented culture in Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick. The Acadians had created a prosperous agriculture economy up until the late eighteenth century, when there was a colonial struggle in power between the French and the British. British had conquered Port Royal and the Acadians refused to recognize British rule, wanting to keep their religious freedom and not wanting to

They now had people in the New World to trade with who had goods that the Europeans had not had easy access to, and the Europeans had goods that the colonists had never been able to get easily. Therefore, the Europeans could sell their goods at a higher than normal price because they were the ones had those goods, which allowed them to sell them at an increased price because the colonists would have otherwise been unable to obtain them. The colonists could also sell their goods at a high price to increase profits. This would help the Europeans make a large profit (Phelan).

E. In 1621, the British king, James I declared that Acadia belonged to Britain. He sent a Scottish lord, Sir William Alexander, and changed the name to Nova Scotia (New Scotland). The Scottish settlers arrived and built a new fort called Charles Fort near the ruins of Champlain's habitation.

The indigenous people of Japan and Russia are called Ainu. Ainu is also referred as Aino, Aynu and Ezo in ancient text. The history showed that they spoke Ainu language and other varieties of languages. They lived mostly in Hokkaido, the Kuril Islands, and Sakhalin. The people who still called them Ainu live in those regions. The exact number of the population of Ainu is still unknown. There are confusing and conflicting issues with Ainu due to mixed heritages, which result in hiding their identities. There is much intermarriage in Japan, which causes the loss of identities of real Ainu. The official estimates of the population of Ainu are

They both used the Native Americans to provide their respective nations with labor and wealth by sending missionaries to convert them; however, this would eventually fail because many of them would die due to diseases that were brought from the Columbian Exchange. They also believed that North America would be filled with valuable metals like in South America, but were unfortunately unable to find any. Although neither of the countries found any precious metals, each of them were able to find profitable goods that they were able to sell for money. The French found plentiful amount of beavers and, with the cooperation of the Native Americans, were able to obtain an abundant supply of fur (Jones, 2013, p.32). The French were then able to sell it in Europe, where there was a lack of beavers, for a significant profit. In order to maximize their profits, they established outposts among the Indians, and moved towards the west and the south where they would find more beavers (Pajer-Rogers, 2005). In contrast to the French’s acquisition of fur, the English grew tobacco to make profit. They grew “tasty” tobacco and utilized the fertile soil in the east, unlike the French who had trouble growing crops due to the harsh and cold winters. This crop attracted thousands of people to move to the new land and became an integral part of the colonies’ economy. Not only was the crop profitable,

The first business that the settlers got to after they shortly arrived in Jamestown was establishing who would be making decisions. They chose seven men to be a part of a council. Captain John Smith was included in this council. After getting settled in to Jamestown, a report was made to the King. This was done by two ships traveling all the way back to England. On the way back to Jamestown from England, more supplies were brought back and more people to become settlers of Jamestown. But in the time that the people were back in England giving a report to the King, most of the settlers back in Jamestown had become very sick and many had starved to death due to the lack of supplies and food. The indigenous people of the land where Jamestown was located tried many times to attack the settlers who were left behind.

In the development of what is known today as Canada, during the Elizabethan era, there was a series was highly documented and, surprisingly, not well-known occurrences. The colonization of New France set the foundation for Canada. The early settlers grew as a nation while holding true to some teachings of the French. The French were originally on the search for an alternative route for Asia and instead stumbled upon what was soon to become their greatest achievement. The French set out to trade in Asia, but found ever-growing success from the new land, despite every complication.

Charles Lawrence, Governor of the province of Nova Scotia made the decision of deporting the Acadians and his major superiors thought it was an intelligent dispatch [...] (Griffiths, 128). There are many different reasons to why the British Officials went through with this deportation. The British Officials conducted the expulsion of the Acadians between 1755 and 1758 from Nova Scotia. The Acadians were not fully trusted and became an obstacle for the British Officials to take full control of Nova Scotia. The British Officials wanted to

Many European empires began serious colonization efforts of North America in the1500’s. The main colonizers of North America were the French, Spanish and British. The British colonization efforts were concentrated along the east coast of America, while the French began their colonization in Canada. Sieur de La Salle, a French explorer, traveled down the Mississippi river to the Gulf of Mexico in the mid 1500s. France claimed ownership of “everything from the Appalachian Mountains to the Rockies” (Davis). France now had two major colonies consisting of Canada, and Louisiana as well as control of overland trade routes connecting the two colonies.

Certain aspects of how the French approached the Natives upon arrival to The New World seemed to produce superior conditions for the French colonizers. For example, the French seemed to find a “middle ground” with the Natives, so to speak. Rather than the English had done prior, in which they seemed to shove religion down the throats of the Native Americans, the French seemed to ease the transition with offerings such as giving Natives improved prices on goods upon allowing Jesuits to live among the tribes. Even if members of the tribes refused, the French seemed to have greater interest in becoming allies rather than persecuting the Native Americans. With this mutual respect, trading between both parties seemed to flow smoother. Tribes, such

“New France was not merely the settlement of a few fur traders.” The Acadians were “a pastoral-like people who once formed a proud nation in a land called Acadia.” Although falling under the jurisdiction of “New France,” the Acadians governed separately than the rest of the country and were an independent entity within New France. Today, “the Acadians are the French speaking population of the Canadian Maritime provinces,” and these are the Acadians that were not displaced during the expulsions, under British rule. Acadia’s beginnings, with the construction of Port Royal, could have marked the colony for success, but instead, led to a troubling conclusion for the European descendents. Through failed leadership, two

Indigenous people are those that are native to an area. Throughout the world, there are many groups or tribes of people that have been taken over by the Europeans in their early conquests throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, by immigrating groups of individuals, and by greedy corporate businesses trying to take their land. The people indigenous to Australia, Brazil and South America, and Hawaii are currently fighting for their rights as people: the rights to own land, to be free from prejudice, and to have their lands protected from society.
