USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The fur trade was based on good relationships between the First Nations peoples and the European traders. First Nations people gathered furs and brought them to posts to trade for textiles, tools, guns, and other goods. This exchange of goods for other items is called the barter system.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Michif language is a combination of French nouns and Cree verbs and is spoken by Métis in the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, and in the South Slave Region of the Northwest Territories. Depending on the region, the language spoken may be Michif-Anishnaabe or Michif-Cree.

Detailed explanation-3: -Michif is one outgrowth of long contact between Cree and Ojibwe speakers and francophone traders. Their offspring-the Métis-are said to have created the language on the Plains in the early 1800s by blending varieties of French and Cree-French Michif (or Métis French) and Plains Cree.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Aboriginal languages spoken by the largest number of First Nations people were Cree languages, Ojibway, Oji‑Cree, Dene and Montagnais (Innu).
