The Beginning of the Fur Trade � The European colony in North America existed to raise money and make profits for their home land (in Europe). � Europeans made good money fishing, but they made even more profits from beautiful furs � The Native Peoples also liked the idea of the fur trade. Why do you think the Native Peoples liked the idea of the fur trade? • There were so many fur-bearing animals that were easy to hunt for their pelts • Europeans had many goods that were not available to the Native Peoples

English & Dutch Colonization In 1610 – the Dutch settled on the Hudson River After the Dutch settled, they continued searching for the Northwest Passage, but ended up exploring the Artic and claimed territories as they went. Henry Hudson - was the Dutchman who discovered the Hudson River & Hudson’s Bay

The Founding of New France Voyage #5 Explorer: Samuel de Champlain Who sent him? The King of France When was he sent? 1604 Why was he sent? to set up trading posts in Canada (for the Fur Trade) What was in it for him? He was given a monopoly on the fur trade for establishing a French Colony Defn. Monopoly – complete control of the service and supply of goods

In 1605 – Champlain established the first post called “Port Royal” in present-day Nova Scotia – it was not a success

1608 – Established a second post at Quebec Champlain formed an alliance with the Huron people to use their trading connections and routes.

The Huron • Is the First Nations group that was closely related to the Iroquois • The Huron were a great alliance for the French because they had many economic advantages such as…… ? ? • Located near bodies of water so fishing was excellent • Vegetation provided resources • The land soil was perfect for agriculture (corn, beans, pumpkins and squash)

�Champlain’s trading posts in New France were taken over by The Company of a Hundred Associates. � This was a company was a business attempt created by France that was required to bring settlers to New France � This company ended up being a business failure and went bankrupt � The Jesuits were Roman Catholic Priests who were partners with this Company of a Hundred Associates � The Jesuits travelled to New France with the CHA and went on ‘missions’ in attempts to convert the Hurons to Catholicism

Province of New France in Canada � After Champlain died, only a few French remained in New France. � The Company of one Hundred Associates (CHA) failed to bring settlers to New France and the Iroquois controlled much of the Fur Trade � Because the Iroquois were in control – they began to increase prices and cut the French profits (how much money they make on their trades) …. so French trading posts weren’t looking too good at this time � These conditions remained for about 25 years before the French of New France called the King of France for help
