What was the final result of cultural contact between the europeans and the beothuks?
The final result of cultural contact between Europeans and the Beothuks was largely detrimental to the Beothuk population. The arrival of Europeans led to the introduction of diseases that decimated the Beothuk people, as well as the loss of their traditional hunting and fishing grounds due to European colonization and resource exploitation. By the early 19th century, the Beothuk were effectively pushed to extinction, with the last known member, Shanawdithit, dying in 1829. This tragic outcome reflects the broader impacts of European colonization on Indigenous populations in North America.
When did beothuk's live?
We can never know when the very small Beothuk tribe became established, since that was in prehistory (meaning that nobody recorded anything at that time). We only know that the Beothuks were the original inhabitants of Newfoundland and the last of them died in 1829; they were certainly the origin of the name "Red Indians" since they made extensive use of a pigment made from natural red ochre, painting their hair, faces, bodies, babies, clothes, houses, weapons, drums, canoes and everything else red.
What tools did they use to build a house?
to build their homes long ago, the Beothuks would use spears in winter to catch animal skins for the outer layer and they would also use knives to de-skin the animals. In the summer they would just use knives to cut the materials. :) Thanks

How did the beothuks work?
The Beothuks were an Indigenous group in Newfoundland who hunted, fished, and gathered food for their survival. They were skilled at using resources from their environment and had a distinctive red ochre decoration on their bodies and possessions. Their lifestyle was adapted to the harsh climate and limited resources of the island.
What is beothuk religion?
The Beothuks were a North American Indian (a First Nation) tribe who lived in the Newfoundland islands until the early 1800s. They are now believed to be extinct as a distinct cultural entity, although survivors might have intermarried with other Amerindian natives or even with European settlers. (A mitochondrial DNA sequence was recently found in Iceland). Contrary to what early Europeans claimed, the Beothuks believed in a set of deities ("dewis" or "kuus"), including a sun god (prefixed "magara-"), and a moon god (prefixed "washe-"). They believed in good as well as bad spirits, treating for example, the aurora boraelis (northern lights) as a messenger of good spirits. Moreover, the Beothuks believed all objects in nature have spirits (i.e. are animate) and should be treated with respect. The Beothuks were also known to have elaborate burial customs, wrapping the dead in birch bark and burying them in remote places. Unfortunately, the Beothuks were reputed to be very hostile to strangers, including other tribes and European settlers. This animosity, along with the endemic and (at that time) incurable tuberculosis, led to gradual extinction of the tribe. It is rumored, but never proven, that the European settlers carried out a sustained campaign of genocide against the Beothuks and other hostile tribes.
