Introduction
Europeans wanted to colonize the North American continent once they
knew about its rich natural resources. The French attempted one of the
first year-round settlements at Saint Croix Island in 1604. Sieur de
Mons went on to establish the Port-Royal Habitation in 1605 and Champlain
founded Quebec in 1608. Those who tried early settlement faced challenges
and hardships. What was life like in Port-Royal, Acadia, and what was
the significance of the success of this small colony? This activity
offers the opportunity to explore the trials and successes of this small
group of French colonists from the perspective of one of its members.
