Question: 1 / 1030

What term is used to describe the men who traveled by canoe to form bonds with the First Nations?

Voyageurs and Coureur des bois

The term "voyageurs and coureur des bois" refers specifically to the French-Canadian men who traveled by canoe to trade goods with the First Nations. While the other options may have also traveled and interacted with indigenous communities, they do not accurately describe the specific role and purpose of the French-Canadian voyageurs and coureur des bois in building relationships through the fur trade. Explorers and pioneers were typically focused on discovering new lands and resources, settlers and colonizers aimed to establish permanent colonies and claim land for their respective countries, and merchants and traders primarily conducted business transactions without forming the same type of relationships as the voyageurs and coureur des bois.
