First Nations taught Europeans various survival skills, such as hunting, fishing, and foraging, which were essential for adapting to the North American environment. They shared knowledge of local plants and medicines, which helped Europeans navigate their new surroundings. This exchange was often motivated by a desire for trade, cooperation, and mutual benefit in a rapidly changing world. Additionally, some First Nations aimed to establish alliances to protect their interests against colonial encroachment.

What mutual benefits for first nation people and europeans were consequences of the fur trade?

Fur trades were mutually beneficial for both groups of people. Fur was in high demand in Europe, and so Europeans had Native people get animal furs for them to send back to Europe and make lots of money from. Native people in return were given handy things that they had not had before, such as guns, pots and pans, etc. (They were also given things that weren't so great, like smallpox infected blankets. Not good.) Hope that helps!


What did the Chinese think the Europeans were?

The Chinese thought that the Europeans were barbarians who were worst than the Manchurians and the Mongolians who were also barbarians in the eyes of the Chinese. Europeans had to bow down to the Chinese when they wanted to trade with the Chinese. The Chinese however did not abuse their power on the Europeans because the Chinese saw themselves as the "Middle Kingdom" and believed that all other nations and people in the world will eventually adopt the Chinese ways. The Chinese don't shove their culture down other people's throats. I would say that the Chinese thinking was arrogance and vanity at its best.Source: Prelude to Opium War Qing DynastyThe Chinese thought that the Europeans were barbarians


Why the Europeans and not the Asians set out to explore the new sea routes?

The history that most Europeans have of early Asian exploration is extremely limited. There is strong evidence that they did as much (and possibly more) exploration as Europeans have done over the same period of time. The sea routes though for Europeans would be different then we would expect most Asian groups to have done.


Who were the first nations in the cordillera region?

We do not know and it is very difficult to determine who they were. This area along the West Coast of Canada was the first to have people, at least as far as we know. During the last Ice Age it was much easier to cross the Bearing Sea, so much easier that the area in that time is known as the Bearing Land Bridge. People and animals could walk between the continents. These first people, or Nations, are lost to history. The lands they walked on, through and settled in would now be under water or buried in the deepest layers of human occupation. They were also displaced by the many following waves of immigrants from Asia over the many years it was possible to walk and then boat from Asia. Each new group of Asian immigrants would have to deal with those already in Canada. These dealings were not always peaceful, in fact it is doubtful they were ever peaceful. The region is rich in resources and the likelihood that those already living there would welcome newcomers with open arms is very remote. Even today their is a significant resistance to other Canadians relocating to the region even though immigration of other Canadians, mostly wealthy, older and with many assets, results in a major part of the economy. Their are no written records from the many past Nations in the area but we do know of the Nations there when Europeans arrived and we call them the First Nations. I know that isn't correct and no one really claims those who call themselves First Nations were really first but we use that term for 20th century political reasons.

How did the first nations affect the europeans?

Well, when Christopher Columbus and Jaque Cartier came, the first nations gave them everything they had. Then the europeens used first nations as slaves. If the first nations didn't listen to the europeens they would be killed. That's exacty what happened. That's why today in North America we don't have many first nations left, soon they'll all be gone. So do we really like Christopher colombus because he dicovered North America? But we also have to remember that he distroyed the First people of Canada!


How did the railway affect the first nations?

When the Europeans first settled in the east, many First Nation tribes fought to keep their land. When they lost their land they moved into the west. This was no problem in the beginning, however; the problem emerged when the CPR was created, starting in the east, and began to move more and more Europeans out west. The First Nations were forced even farther west until the CPR was completed "from coast to coast" and the First Nations had no where else to go. Without the CPR, the Europeans would not have settled as quickly into the west, leaving the First Nations more time to fight for their land.


What did Jacque cartier firs think of the first nations lifestyle?

It doesn't matter what he thought. The Europeans saw Native Americans as expendable and that they would make good slaves. This is recorded by several explorers.


Was North America uninhabited when the first Europeans arrived?

No, they were actually inhabited by tribes of Indians! Indians would later teach them how to farm and live in the area. Many theories have came up as to the Indians deaths, however the most likely reason is disease (Europeans were not used to the new land and surroundings and were not immune to what the Indians had, and Indians were not immune to what the Europeans had).

What were the reactions of the aboriginals when they saw the europeans?

The Europeans were sent home, those that tried to stay were slaughtered. Except in Northern Canada. There they reacted by trading for hundreds of years. The next wave of Europeans about 500 years later had firearms which made them much harder to drive away. The Aboriginals tried but lost so many battles they just gave up land, and then more land, and then.....

If you mean people born in Europe, then Europeans But if you mean the first nations, it is hard to say. I believe the first people there were the Celts and thus Celts would be more appropriate. As opposed to Celts, Native Europeans might work.

There is no record of Europeans having explored as far as the Great Lakes by the year 1600. The First Nations would have had their own names for the Great Lakes. One of their names for Lake Superior was Gichigami.


What was the government of Beothuk?

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.
