Henry Kelsey, an English explorer in the late 17th century, had significant effects on Native American populations, particularly in Canada. His interactions with Indigenous groups, primarily the Cree, facilitated trade relationships that introduced new goods and altered traditional practices. While Kelsey’s efforts contributed to economic opportunities for some tribes, they also initiated a complex dynamic that led to increased dependency on European goods and, ultimately, significant cultural and social changes among Native populations. Additionally, these interactions laid the groundwork for further European exploration and colonization, impacting Indigenous sovereignty and lifestyles.
Henry Kelsey went south and west of Hudson Bay and got as far as the Saskatchewan River.
Basically, the natives received the short end of the stick in this collision of cultures known as the Columbian Excahnge. The natives received diseases such as measles, influenza, typhoid and small pox. However, the Spanish did bring over horses, which the Natives were very fond of.

Henry Kelsey primarily used canoes and walked on foot during his exploration expeditions. He employed indigenous guides and traders, utilizing their knowledge of the land to navigate through the wilderness.
