HISTORY 2HI3 Study Guide - Final Guide: Napoleonic Code, North West Company, Lower Canada

History 2t03: explain how people who hunted buffalo and people who fished had different modes of life and different social structure. Fishing: people who from europe who wanted fish had more conflict with world powers, as there was a limited supply and a lot of countries were sending people out to bring it back to europe. The fish market was important, especially to those of catholic faiths who were banned from meat consumption several days out of the year, but were allowed to eat fish. For the most part, the race for fish was not as interactive with the natives as the hunt for fur. Most countries would be able to set up wet fisheries on their boats, and never had the need to set up any sort of manufacturing station or settlement on land with the natives. Ferryland were two of the earlier fishing settlements from europe, and did not do well.
