      Today we listened to the story of the Béothuk nation. The nation that was completely wiped out because of the British fisherman's violence as well as the disease that they brought over to the New Worlds. We also talked about how Halifax was created and why the English now had land in the once thriving Colony of Acadia.

Social Studies 7H
    Today we discussed the Origins of The Hudson's Bay company in detail. We learnt how the French and English battled for control over the Fort that were built on the Bay. In the end the English were allowed to keep this territory thanks to the Treaty of Utrecht that was signed in Europe.
     We then discussed the how the French were sneaky and cut off the Fur supply  of the English by travelling, down the rivers to meet the First Nations that were on their way to trade with the English.  Tomorrow we will be discussing how this irritated the English and led to them sending out their own explorers to find new lands and new First Nations to trade with out WEST.
