CANADAs HISTORY
Native Americans lived in
Canada for thousands of
years. In the early 1600s,
colonists from Britain and
France began to settle in
eastern Canada, along the
St. Lawrence River. Canada
proved to be an excellent
spot
for
trapping
and
trading of furs. In the 1800s,
settlers began to push west.
Most
of
the
native
Americans were displaced by
the Europeans.
