-the French grew in numbers, while the aboriginals shrank

-they traded furs for axes, knives, beads, cloth, firearms, and alcohol

-the French later approached the Shaman's people and made an alliance treaty with the Great Lake's nations

-the worst consequence of the French invading Quebec was the rapid decrease in population of the Aboriginals. A decrease in native population, meant an increase in exchanges.

-French-Indian alliance built up around fur trade and soon became a factor in the struggles between France and Great Britain. Britain was more capitalistic and practiced greater religious tolerance, therefore, successful at colonizing North America.

-The Aboriginals saw Britain as a threat to their lands, so they preferred an alliance with the French. The French knew if they kept an alliance with the aboriginals, they would not lose out in trade. The spreading of Catholicism was important to France because that way more missionaries could go even farther across the continent to live among the Indians.

-surrounding the French-Amerindian alliance was the Maritime Provinces, the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the St. Lawrence River, the Great Lakes, and Mississippi. The aboriginals who lived in this area were allies with the French because they were both trade partners and military allies. Their relationship was said to be military, matrimonial, commerical, religious, and cultural.

-The French and Aboriginals were economically dependent on eachother. The French would not be able to perform as well in military efforts without the aid of the native warriors.

-The Aboriginals required writing, metal, gunpowder, fruit trees, hogs, cats, chickens,  and onions.

-The French acquired knowledge of native geography, familiarity with maize, squash, beans, snowshoe, and the canoe.
