Europeans came to Mi'kmaq territory primarily for trade, fishing, and resource exploitation. The rich fishing grounds off the coast of Nova Scotia attracted European fishermen, particularly from France and England. Additionally, as they sought to expand their territories and influence, Europeans engaged with the Mi'kmaq for fur trade and alliances. This interaction often led to significant cultural exchanges, but also conflicts over land and resources.
