What was Beothuk government?

Beothuk was the name of the First Nations people living on the island of Newfoundland at the time of first contact with Europeans. They are thought to have been of Algonkian origin. Their population has been estimated at between 500 and 1,000. Whatever 'government' they might have had would have existed mainly in First Nations traditions. Their main population centre was at the head of the Exploits River. This location also became a major focal point of European settlement, which inevitably led to conflict. Europeans had two things that killed the Beothuk in large numbers: guns and disease. The First Nations people did not have a natural resistance to European diseases, such as smallpox and tuberculosis, and they died in large numbers. During conflicts between the Beothuk and Europeans, the advantage Europeans had with weapons dealt an enormous blow to the Beothuk. The last known Beothuk was Shanawdithit. She was born about 1800, and died on June 6, 1829. With her death, the Beothuk officially became extinct, although there are indications that some Beothuk were absorbed into other First Nations people who had recently settled in parts of Newfoundland.
