Treaty of Paris

     Now that the Seven Years' War had ended and the Treaty of Paris had been signed, the First Nations allies and the Canadiens were now unsure of their future.  As part of the treaty, Britain guaranteed they would not retaliate against the French allies and the people of New France were allowed to continue to practice their religion.

Questions the First Nations and Francophones had:

The Visit From Pontiac

Read "A Story from a Haudenosaunee Perspective" and "Who were Pontiac and Mineweweh?" on page 159 and 160.  

Summarize the story into a list of events that took place as the Haudenosaunee looked to take over control of their land.  

The Last Governor of New France

Read Pierre de Rigaud de Vaudreuil de Cavagnial, 1698 - 1778 on page 161 and 162.

     The last governor of New France was Pierre de Rigaud de Vaudreuil de Cavagnial.  Once the British supply ships had arrived in Québec after the battle of Saint-Foy, Vaudreuil surrendered as he realized fighting was pointless.  The people of his colony had already suffered many losses through the 3 months of shelling by the British and the more one thousand farms that had been burned along the St. Lawrence River.

     Before leaving the Canadiens and their allies in the hands of the British, Vaudreuil took steps to protect them by negotiating terms that eventually ended up in the Treaty of Paris.  

     Once the king of France heard of the defeat, Vaudreuil was arrested upon arrival in France.  He spent several weeks in prison.

     Although Britain was now in charge of Québec, the Canadiens had to endure this new transition into the new land that was once a French colony.
