  9. The Beginning of the Fur Trade • Europeans trading with Natives – for mutual benefit. • Trade = more then just goods, a meeting of cultures. • The Natives had furs, the Europeans had metal pots and knives. • The BARTER SYSTEM.

  10. The Beginning of the Fur Trade • The Europeans – obsessed with beaver pelts. • The Natives thought they were a little nuts. • Animal fur was more profitable then fish. • As a result, fishing was no longer the main economic activity…

  11. The Beginning of the Fur Trade • Pierre Chauvin - Tadoussac, 1600. • Abandoned by 1601 - Tadoussac remained in the hands of the Amerindians.

  12. Activity 2 In your common-place books: • Research “Fishing Newfoundland” - Find three different sources (news) and discuss what is happened to the fishing industry there and why… (~100 words) [c-1] • Research “Whaling” – find three different sources and discuss, as a Canadian citizen, whether or not you agree with whale hunting and why (~100 words).
