Indigenous Peoples and Europeans Part 4: The Fur Trade For Use with Google Classroom™️ is a digital distance learning resource intended to support the 2018 Ontario Social Studies Curriculum. (This Strand A unit used to be called First Nations and Europeans.) The activities in this resource correspond to the 3-part lesson plans in my regular unit: Indigenous Peoples and Europeans Part 4.
These activities allow students to explore the choices available to the people of New France, the relationships amongst those involved in the fur trade, and alliances made between specific Indigenous Peoples and the French and English fur trading companies.

BONUS FILE: I have also included Part 5: The Great Fur Fair in this folder. As this activity is really meant to be done in-class, it does not easily lend itself to distance learning. I have chosen to include this printable PDF as a free bonus file along with Part 4!
Students will be engaged in:
- creating lists of “pros and cons” to help evaluate the choices available to young men already in New France, and the Filles du Roi pondering a move to the new colony.
- evaluating whether the move to New France and participation in the fur trade actually solved the problems for which the colony was created.
- using a graphic organizer to clearly see the alliances between specific Indigenous groups, the French and the English
- learning about the Baymen and Voyageurs who worked for the French and English fur trading companies
