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?&
