Fishers from France, England, Spain and Portugal trade with First Nations
When the British first arrived to Canada, they would come ashore to dry their fish. This was the first interaction between the First Nations and the British. Even though permanent settlements were not established, the trading began amongst the two societies. Because the French used salt to prepare their fish for shipping, there was no reason for them to come to shore except to refresh water supplies.
