  5. What were the names of the 3 main groups of First Occupants?

  6. What region did the Iroquoians live in? • What regions did the Algonkianslive in? • What region did the Inuit live in ?

  7. How did the first Occupants live in the year 1500?

  8. Did the 3 groups of First Occupants live in the same places?

  9. Because the 3 groups of First Occupants lived in different places, they lived in different ways

  10. Iroquoians: the way they lived • Iroquoians lived in the St-Lawrence Valley • The soil was very FERTILE • Fertile means good for growing vegetables

  11. Iroquoians were farmers! • They grew vegetables • corn, beans, squash • Men hunted animals sometimes for meat • Farming is where they got most of their food

  12. Iroquoians stayed in the same place • Because they were farmers • They grew food • They lived close to where they grew food • Staying in one place is called SEDENTARY • Iroquoians had a sedentary way of life

  13. Iroquoian Homes • Iroquoians lived in villages • There were a lot of houses in the village. • The houses were called ‘LONGHOUSES’

  14. Inside a Longhouse

  15. Longhouses were made of…. • Wood • Bark from trees • Animal fur and bones • Other natural materials

  16. Villages were protected • Iroquoian villages were protected by a wall • This wall was made out of large pieces of wood • The wall protected the village from attacks

  17. Iroquoians Con’t • How did they travel? • Travel by foot (snowshoes in winter) or by canoe (on waterways) • What did their housing look like? • They built semi-permanent structures called ‘longhouses’ • Each longhouse housed several families

  18. Iroquoians Con’t • How did they farm, hunt and store food? • Simple tools like stone axes, bows/arrows and baskets allowed them to live and maintain a sedentary life • Animal skins/furs comprised most of their clothing  trade with Algonkian tribes

  19. Iroquoians Con’t • Why were longhouses semi-permanent? • Every 8-10 years, the soil the Iroquoian tribes farmed became infertile…so they had to change where they lived • A new Group of longhouses was built elsewhere

  20. Iroquoians Con’t • Iroquoian social structure was known as MATRIARCHAL • What did this mean for them? • Women made important decisions, were the leaders of permanent settlements and decided who would be the chief of the tribe/village (a man)

  21. Algonkians: their way of life • Algonkian groups lived in the ‘Canadian Shield’ and Appalachian Mountain Regions  NOT FERTILE • NON FERTILE= hunting and gathering= NOMADIC

  22. AlgonkiansCon’t • They did not farm like the Iroqouian tribes, so they relied on hunting animals and gathering wild vegetation like berries • Summertime=fishing grounds • What was their housing like? • Small/portable dwellings called wigwams • 2-4 families per wigwam

  23. AlgonkiansCon’t • How did Algonkians travel? • Foot, canoe, snowshoes, tobogans • Tools? • Bows/arrows, stone axes, fishing implements like nets

  24. AlgonkiansCon’t • The social structure= PATRIARCHY • What does that mean? • The opposite of MATRIARCHAL • Men made important decisions and were placed in leadership roles
