Travel back in time to the 1500s, when sustained contacts between Europeans and Natives were taking shape. From the shores of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence to Tadoussac and on to Huronia-Wendaki, this book focuses on 16th century European goods and Native networks that formed an interplay of place and mobility.
Part I is set around the Gulf where Euro-Native contact was direct and the historical record is strongest. Part II is set in the Saint Lawrence Valley and shows Tadoussac as a fork in inland networks. And Part III is set around Lake Ontario, focusing on contact between this region and the Saint Lawrence Valley.
