Description
Language encounters between the French and Native peoples of North America began when Jacques Cartier arrived in Acadie (Novia Scotia) and the St. Lawrence River valley in the 1530’s. Communicating primarily by signs, Cartier and various Native individuals participated in seemingly friendly communication as they attempted to “speak” with one another. Almost immediately, Cartier experienced the linguistic diversity of the region’s Indigenous, with Native communities located within just a few miles of each other capable of speaking distinctly different dialects and languages.
