Parks Canada presents Archeology and Diplomacy in New France
This network activity, Archeology and Diplomacy in New France, is being hosted by LEARN in collaboration with Parks Canada. The intended audience for this session is Cycle 2 (Grades 3 & 4) Elementary students.
How did the Wendat and the French forge alliances 400 years ago?
Through artifacts, archaeological remains, and interactive elements, this educational online activity invites students to investigate the diplomatic encounters that shaped the history of New France.
Students explore the traces left by past societies, gain a deeper understanding of the roles played by the various groups who inhabited the territory, and become familiar with the methods used by archaeologists to interpret history through objects and heritage sites.
