Jesuit Priests and Ursuline Nuns want to bring Christianity specifically Roman Catholicism to the First Nations
To establish a new life and have land for themselves.
To explore new land
Why Did people colonize New France?
Stop & Think
Now that you know the main reasons why people moved to
New France, do you think people immigrate to Canada for any other reasons today?
&
Mostly men lived in New France
As result of a low female population two new groups were formed Métis
One parent was First Nations, the other parent was of European descent
Filles du Roi A young orphan woman sent to
marry a settler in New France
Major Issue with Early New France
Good
Established a trading partner where both sides benefitted
Built a relationship that would help in later military battles
Bad The Europeans brought over
diseases such as smallpox to North America killing thousands of the Huron Nation.
The Jesuit Priests and Usuline Nuns did not respect the traditions of the First Nations
Only reason why some Hurons converted to Catholicism was their fear of losing a trading partner
The good and and Bad with France colonizing New FRANCE?
Stop & Think
How would you feel if Canada sent you somewhere to marry
a total stranger?&
