From the Beginning¡
Aboriginal Peoples
Aboriginal peoples were the first people to live in North
America. There were many different groups or nations.
They spoke different languages and had many different
ways of living. All of them used the gifts of nature in their
environment to survive.

French and English explorers from Europe came to
North America to claim lands. They met the
Aboriginal people and began to trade with them.
Many fur traders came to trade for fur. Missionaries
came to teach the Aboriginal peoples Christianity.
Then, settlers from Britain and France came to live on
the land. Settlers from France first built homes in
what is now Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and
Quebec. The English came to live in parts of Nova
Scotia and what is now the United States.
Both the French and English wanted the same land and
soon fighting took place. The French and English got
help from different Aboriginal groups. There were many
wars. At the end of the Seven Years War in 1763,
France had to give all its land in North America to Britain.
From this time on, Britain had control of most of North
America.
The British settlers living in the southeastern part of North
America did not like how Britain was treating them. In 1776,
they began a war with Britain for their independence. They
won the war and created a new country called the United
States of America. Britain lost much of its land. The land
they kept was called British North America. The Americans
forced the people who were loyal to Britain to leave. Many
of these English ¡°loyalists¡± moved to British North America
so they could still be part of Britain. There were bad
feelings between the Americans and the English in British
North America
British North America
Britain ruled British North America. When more English
people started arriving, the French people became afraid of
losing their language and way of living. The Aboriginal
peoples were also unhappy about living on special lands set
aside for them. Their way of living also was in danger of
being lost. Many people wanted change.
