Indigenous people had already been living in North America for many years. It must have been very strange for them to see the European's huge sailing ships entering their waters using the St. Lawrence River! I wonder how they felt - maybe excited, curious or scared?

In the 1700s, the Indigenous peoples of Europe experienced a variety of interactions with European settlers and explorers, though these encounters were markedly different from the colonization processes seen in other parts of the world. In places like Scandinavia, the Sami people faced pressure from expanding nation-states, leading to cultural and economic changes as their traditional lands were encroached upon for mining and agricultural development.

I think that they would feel nervous,scared,exited.

Firstly because of them finding the new land and not knowing what to expect.

Secondly because they don't know what lives on that island with all their knowledge of the new land it could be heaven and Thirdly happy because they found new land for their people. :)

We think that the indigenous people were learning about the fur trade and collecting fur to trade. we think that the types of fur they used were beaver fur. They also traded other animal furs for European goods like pots, beads, textiles, and weapons.

Indigenous European contact, often referred to as the first interactions between Indigenous peoples of Europe and the expanding European civilizations, began with a complex web of exploration, trade, and conflict. In the early medieval period, Norse explorers such as the Vikings made contact with various Indigenous groups in the British.

When I look at this photo, I see first nations riding horses, I also see that it looks like they have weapons, they all seem to be Men not Woman. My estimation is that they are going to find food such as Hunting, And Spear fishing. Why I say that is cause Back in 1700 woman had different jobs then men such as cleaning, taking care of the kids, And Washing clothes.

many indigenous and European explorers by a lake or river trading for fur, and the many great resources that they both had like weapons, and other valuables like beaver pelts l in the 1700. I wonder how the first nations were thinking about all the different stuff the Explorers had but i think that they would be pretty curious about them and there cultures.

We feel that this image shows how time has evolved and that men and women where stereotypic about their jobs and what role a gender had. Just like this image showing the women would be in charge of the children cleaning and food, unlike men would be in charge of hunting trapping and heavy-duty work. Time has also evolved by providing easy access like washing machines, grocery store, etc. unlike in early time laundry was done by hand and you would have to scavenge food yourself.

When I think about this photo, I think of early trading in the first stages of the fur trading. When I look at this picture, I see an Indigenous leader that puts a sacred Indigenous necklace on a French leader as a sign of an alliance.

Between 1610 and 1632, there were five European expeditions in hopes to find a North-west path to the Pacific Ocean. They wrote about a face-to-face encounter with an Inuit individual. They recorded about an Inuit tribe, but it wasn't until 1611 that one of the Europeans (Henry Hudson) traded with the Tribe. He communicated with them through a form of sign language about close by Cree trading parties. I wonder how henry Hudson felt when he discovered their tribe. Was he exited that he found a new land? Or maybe disappointed that he wasn't the first one there?

When I see this photo, I think the guy on the right is dying from a disease called smallpox in the 1700s the people from England came to Canada and gave the indigenous this disease caused panic across the indigenous community. and the guy on the right (Who is on the ground) is dying from this disease and the guy on the right is trying to help him, or potentially he could be dead already.

The first documented European contact with the Americas occurred in North America, when the Vikings established a settlement in Newfoundland on the east coast of Canada around 1000 A.D. Norse legends, or sagas, recount a relationship between Vikings and Native Americans defined by violence and frequent attacks. But sum of the natives were really clos with the European and had families with Thum

In the early 1700s the Europeans came over and sent only men on the ships to go to Aisa (aka Canada) and they found the indigenous people and their land, thinking it was Indea.

As the Europeans were there, they started families of their own with the woman of the indigenous groups as they got more land for the more kids they had. They also where trading pelts, guns, and other weapons along with forming alliances.

When I see this photo, I see two Europeans and two Indigenous people. It also seems That one of the Europeans is smoking, and the other one has a feather, and it looks like he is writing, the Indigenous people look to be bathing. I would write more but we have to go.

we think that this image is indigenous people preparing to battle on horses. or getting ready to travel on horses. we believe that the type of horses they are using are Navajo, Ute, Apache, Kiowa, Comanche, Shoshone, Nez Perce, Blackfoot, Lakota, Crow, and Cheyenne. These horses quickly became integral to the Plains Indians for hunting and transport.

when I see this photo, I think they are washing clothes gathering food and medicine. What else I see is they are keeping care of the children and protecting village. When I think about this picture, I think the men are out hunting and trapping and finding food for the village.

When Europeans first came to the Indigenous people's land, the Indigenous peoples probably never knew the Europeans intentions for sure. Sometimes the Europeans would approach the Indigenous tribes with respect and would be treated as guests, while often times the Europeans weren't as kind. Doing things such as raiding their villages, murdering their people, kidnaping, and rape. That must've been a very scary time for the indigenous peoples, not knowing if the Europeans would treat you with the respect that you deserve as a human being or hurt you and your tribe.
