Document Summary

Aboriginals and settlers didn"t have a bad or good relationship, some explorers and fur traders married aboriginal women but sometimes exploited them. Common case of colonialism, occurring throughout the world and leaving a legacy of combined racism and sexism towards indigenous women. Hudson"s bay companies and fur traders banned the men from taking their country wives / aboriginal wives back home with them. Still some husbands would leave things in their wills or find them a new husband to ensure they were provided for. Aboriginal and european parents made children that would have a rough life. Kinship(blood-related) ties helped give aboriginal"s some say in the rules. Aboriginal and europeans had different views on family and property. The europeans property was private and could be traded. Aboriginals determined who deserves to hunt or not. This conflict resulted in some of their goods being burned just to serve a point.
