The aboriginal peoples of Canada made their living in a variety of ways. Living close to the fertile soil, and favorable climate found near the Great Lakes, one tribe became highly skilled farmers. Of all the tribes living in this region, this group was most actively involved in agriculture, often referred to as “the Planters of the Corn”.

Another group living in a rich environment were the tribes based along the West Coast. The mild climate found here allowed them to grow a variety of crops. They also harvested the sea making salmon, cod, halibut and whales a staple of their diet.

A third group lived on the Prairies. These tribes harvested nature. They followed the great herds of buffalo whose meat and hides provided the tribes with their staple food and clothing. Their diets were supplemented with other small animals, wild berries, and other naturally growing plants.

Comments on British Mercantilism

Speaker 1

The colonies fuel the economy of Britain. Without them, we would lack the natural resources necessary for our industries and warfare. The colonies remain loyal to the Mother Country- our taxes ensure that they do so.

Speaker 2

Life is difficult in the colonies, but overall, it’s better than living in Britain. Taxes are too high, consumer goods are very expensive…but these are small prices to pay for our freedom and a better quality of life.

Speaker 3

The colonies supply us with material goods like axes, guns, pots…things we cannot make on our own. Still, the English continue to take lands that are our homes and bring diseases…is it all worth it?

Speaker 4

Life is good! The colonies continue to make us richer as we sell them finished products at high prices. Since we buy raw materials from the colonies at a lower cost, our profits continue to rise!
