First Nation's Crisis

Life for native Canadians was never easy. When white men came to North America, the First Nations' way of life was changed. Some were good changes; other changes made things harder.

One of the good changes was the horse. Horses made hunting bison easier. Horses moved people faster and helped carry or pull loads.

The people traded beaver and other furs to the Europeans. In return, they got guns, warm wool blankets, and iron cooking utensils. These things made their lives easier.

The Europeans brought new diseases to the New World. Disease brought suffering and death. Some white traders supplied whiskey to the native people. This ruined lives, families, and whole tribes. By the 1880s, so many bison had been killed by white hunters that there were few left for the native people. They depended on the bison to supply food, clothing, and materials for their shelters.
