Through presentations of historical fact and dramatic re-enactment, this series traces Canadian history from the arrival of the first peoples to the end of the twentieth century. In this episode the search for the Northwest Passage and the Grand Banks fishery have made the New World a destination for Europeans in the 16th century. Segment one deals with Martin Frobisher's three journeys to the Arctic to find a Northwest Passge to China. Shows his encounters with the Inuit and the discovery of an ore whose eventual worthlessness causes him to return to his occupation of piracy and his supporters to turn against him. Segment two presents John Guy's establishment of the first permanent settlement in Cuper's Cove, Newfoundland and how the challenge of life here led to his return to England and the settlement's failure. Segment three depicts Samuel de Champlain's establishment of Quebec as a new fur trading post, the difficulties settlers encountered here, the failure of a Basque plot against Champlain, and the realization that the French needed help to survive in a world not their own. Segment five considers the alliance of the French with the Montagnais and Algonquin Indians against the Iroquois, and their battle at Ticonderoga Point, where the French made mortal enemies of the Iroquois. Segment five reveals how the French settler Etienne Brule came to live among the Huron and the impact which his stay had upon him. Also shows how Champlain's own exposure to the Huron way of life made him want to help them in a military sense as well as to convert them to Christianity, an idea which made the French fur traders uncomfortable. Segment six shows how Champlain aroused the interest of Cardinal Richelieu and how the Company of One Hundred Associates was formed as a result. Documents how war with the English led to Quebec's surrender and Champlain's return to France. With Quebec's return to the French, Champlain would return to rebuild the colony. He died December 25, 1635.
Grades 5-Senior 4, adult.
