Explorer - Jacques Cartier (Part 1)
Henry II (King of France), sent Jacques Cartier to find a way to Asia through north America. The king gave Cartier the power to claim the land for France. Cartier recorded his first encounter with a Mi'kmaq person in 1534: ...a man came into sight who ran after our longboats along the coast, making frequent signs to us to [go] towards ...a point of land. And seeing these signs, we began to row towards him, but
when he saw that we were coming, he started to run away and to flee before us (Copied) -

The Muscovy Company of London sponsored Hudson because he claimed he could find an ice-free passage past the North Pole as a shorter route to Asia. In 1611 Henry Hudson's ship got trapped in ice, he wanted to keep exploring but his crew rebelled. Him, his son and a few other members of the crew were the only people who hadn't abandoned him.

Indigenous perspective (My opinion)
Q: How do you think the indigenous felt when the explorers treated them the way they did? A: I think they would be thinking "why are these people treating us like this?" and even though they were being treated like this they still wanted to trade, still wanted to help, and still wanted to just make friends with the explorer's most of the time. Keep in mind this is just my opinion.
