Document Summary

Integration reaches a point where the first nations become irrelevant. Pressure is on first nations to adapt to new scheme of things. Choice is still available so first nations slow to change. Point is their lifestyle allowed more time for quality of life and desire to change for what was to them a worse style was just not there. Increasing numbers of europeans not interested in first makes first nations irrelevant and in the way: the europeans were scared of the first nations people. Settlers arriving in numbers marks end of traditional fur phase: once they show up it turns into the late stage (end of fur trade) Booze, prostitution, theft, violence are part of many first nation"s lives as a result: prostitution for food instead of money, firewater causes violence. Fur numbers declining: no fur no fur trade. Game animals declining: because of new settlers, pressure on them is very high.
