This unit will focus on two key societal relationships—the relationship between the peoples and the “land”, and the relationship between the members of a society and the decision making processes that govern their society. The unit will investigate the assumptions and practices held by the major population groups from precolonial times to the beginning of the nineteenth century. Those populations included the First Nations, the European colonizers, and the peoples residing in the colonies. The assumptions and beliefs held by each of the groups influenced how the various peoples interacted, and shaped the history of the Canadian nation.
