Region: Variety

This informational text describes the arrival of European explorers and early settlers in North America and how many Aboriginal peoples helped them survive in the harsh climate. Aboriginal peoples helped the newcomers learn to hunt, fish, and farm. They taught the newcomers how to make clothing, weapons, and tools from animals. Aboriginal peoples also helped the Europeans in the use of traditional medicines to treat illness and assisted in the fur trade. The book highlights the important role that Aboriginal women played during this period.
