They employed pits or caches for storing food, and used the steam bath in huts covered with skins and heated with hot stones. Some of the characteristics in which the Beothuk differed from most other Indians were a marked lightness of skin colour. the use of trenches in their lodges for sleeping berths, the peculiar form of their canoes, the non-domestication of the dog, and the dearth of evidence of pottery making. Bonnycastle ( Newfoundland in 1842 ) states that the Beothuk used the inner bark of Pinus balsamifera as food, while Lloyd (

Statement of Mission and Goals: My perspective is that of an academic writer. It is not my purpose to entertain the visitors at the site, although I hope that navigating through it will be pleasant enough. It is my hope that they will find serious information on a wide variety of subjects. Ideally, I would wish to make the site "complete", that is that much of the pertinent information regarding important issues be found right at the site. It is with this view in mind that the site was constructed. For most subjects that are tackled, there are (or will be) one or more texts written by the author and placed in the Readings category. These texts wish to impart knowledge, but especially to provide an interpretive framework on a significant question. In the category of readings will also be placed a number of historiographical essays that seek to analyse the debates between historians on an important issue, or to introduce a specific historian to the readers. The reader should be made to grasp that debate is an inherent part of the study of history and that historians provide different answers to the same question. My objective is to try to explain why that is so, giving support, when necessary and possible, to the views that seem to most accord with the facts as they are known presently. As well, the interpretive section is supplemented by a subdivision on

The native and popular name for the Indians of the Queen Charlotte ids., Brit. Col. , and the S. end of Prince of Wales id., Alaska , comprising the Skittagetan family. By the natives themselves the term may be applied generally to any human being or specifically to one speaking the Haida language. Some authors have improperly restricted the application of the term to the Queen Charlotte islanders, calling the Alaskan Haida, Kaigani. Several English variants of this word owe their origin to the fact that a suffix usually accompanies it in the native language, making it Ha'de in one dialect and Haidaga'i in the other. On the ground of physical characteristics the Haida, Tlingit, and Tsimshian peoples should be grouped together. Language and social organisation indicate still closer affinities between the Haida and Tlingit.

Québec History The Iroquoian village of Stadacona occupied the site of Québec when French explorer Jacques Cartier visited the area in 1535. Finding the village abandoned in 1608, fellow Frenchman Samuel de Champlain built a fur-trading post there. This was the first permanent European settlement in the region called Canada, although the French had had summer trading and fishing camps at Tadoussac and elsewhere for 50 years or more. Despite a small population, Québec became the administrative, military, and religious center of the French empire in North America, as well as a major transfer point for trade and immigration. When the colonies of Canada, Acadia, and Newfoundland were formed into the royal province of New France in 1663, Québec was made its capital. Québec was attacked several times over the years by forces of Great Britain, the chief rival of France in North America. The Battle of the Plains of Abraham in 1759, in which the British captured the city for the last time, was the decisive event of the French and Indian War (1754-1763). Four years later France formally ceded all of its mainland territories in North America to Great Britain. Québec (city), capital of the province of Québec, Canada, in Québec County, located at the confluence of the Saint Lawrence and Saint Charles rivers in the southern part of the province. Québec is dominated by a dramatic promontory, Cap Diamant (Cape Diamond), situated 98 m (320 ft) above a narrowing of the Saint Lawrence River; the city's name is from an Algonquian word meaning

The French as well as several other nations had colonies in the New World. In the early days, these colonies needed to be constantly replenished with settlers, tradesmen, carpenters, soldiers and mechanics, food supplies, seeds, lifestock and many manufactured products. Ships returning home carried valuable New World products back to Europe. This was how the high cost of establishing a colony was financed. Spain received a fleet of ships most years that were filled with Inca and Peruvian gold and silver. England received hogsheads of valuable tobacco. France received shiploads of very valuable furs. Nearly every European nation welcomed boat-loads of Cod fish caught on the Grand Banks. Sailing to the New World was not a simple matter of raising an anchor and hoisting a sail or two. Crossing 1200 leagues of icy North Atlantic waters could be a deadly endurance test for both men and ships.
