A PLACE TO LIVEAboriginal Peoples (49 - 63)
Population Patterns 1) Reviewing table 4.1 on p. 50, rank the
provinces from highest population density to the lowest.
2) Reviewing table 4.2 on p. 50, match the following terms with the diagram: clustered, compact, loose-knit, linear.
3) Explain the differences between “urban center” and “rural area.”
4) Compare the terms “urban pull” and “rural push” what is the likely outcome of these factors?
Population Patterns 5) Look at fig. 4.4 p. 51, what is the
general trend shown in the graph? How does the population growth in Atlantic Canada compare to the rest of Canada?
6) What is outmigration? What is the destination of many who leave?
7) What was the name formerly given to Fredericton, N.B.? What was the cause of its growth in the early 1780’s? (5)
The Innu The Innu are believed to be descendants
of the Maritime Archaic people who lived 9000 - 3000 years ago
They live in the area of the Quebec/Labrador peninsula
French explorers classified this group into two subgroups 1) Montagnais 2) Naskapi
The Innu Today, the Innu
call their land Nitassinan, and do not recognize the political boundaries of Quebec and Labrador
Algonquian Nations Lived in what is now Atlantic Canada Spent a lot of time hunting, fishing,
trapping, and trading The Algonquian Nations included three
nations:
1) Mi’kmaq ( NS, PEI, and parts of NL) 2) Passamaquoddy (in parts of NB) 3) Maliseet (in parts of NB)
The Inuit The north of the Atlantic region was
home to the Palaeoeskimo it is believed these groups crossed the
Bering Strait from Siberia, reaching Labrador 3800 years ago.
one group, the Dorset, disappeared about 1000 years ago.
The Inuit Another group.
The Thule, arrived in about 1300 and are the ancestors of today’s Labrador Inuit
The Beothuk lived in Newfoundland hunted and fished along the coast and in
the interior they were very susceptible to European
diseases involved in conflicts with European
settlers
The Beothuk Beothuk became
extinct when the last known member, Shawnandithit, died in 1829 of tuberculosis
Effects of Contact The Aboriginal peoples taught the first
Europeans how to survive in the harsh conditions posed by the environment of what is now Atlantic Canada.
However, the Europeans were ethnocentric (believed that their culture and beliefs were better than those of the Aboriginal peoples) and did not appreciate or understand the Aboriginal peoples.
Effects of Contact As a result, problems developed in parts of
the region, one such problem was found in NS, NB, and PEI, as Aboriginal peoples became regulated by Canadian law and were forced off their native land/migration routes onto reserves.
Today, Aboriginal peoples are negotiating claims with provincial and federal governments to reclaim the land natively used by their ancestors and the right to self-government
Questions (p.55 - 56) 1) The term Aboriginal peoples is used to
refer to who?
2) Different Aboriginal groups, while living in harmony with their environment, differed from each other in what ways? Name three.
3) When do some archaeologists believe that Aboriginal groups first migrated to the Atlantic Canadian region? Why? From where?
Questions (p.55 - 56) 4) Using Fig. 4.7, what generalizations can
be made about the migration of Aboriginal peoples from AD 500 to present?
5) For each group, list the following:
original location - Arrived in Atlantic Canada - subgroups - present location -
Effects of Contact p.56 1) How did the aboriginal peoples help the
Europeans when they first moved into the Atlantic region?
Syrup
2) define ethnocentrism.
3) What was a problem which developed from this lack of understanding?
Effects of Contact p.56 4) Why do
Aboriginal leaders negotiate with provincial and federal governments today?
