Conclushion

Thankyou for listening to my presentation.

I hope you learned a lot about the chipewyan people and enjoyed my presentation. Thank you for watching!!

How is my life the same and/or different from their lives?

How did they educate their children?

Since I did not live in the time of chipewyan people I was more privileged to be able to buy my clothes and not have to sit there and make my clothes by hand while some of my family is off away in the forest trading fur with europeans and people in the hudson bay area. Even though my life could be seen as very different from the chipewyan but I actually could also be seen as similar to the chipewyan people too. First of all, chipewyan people and I both had parents working but maybe there mother would stay home but they still had someone working in the family to live but the difference is if the fur trade wasn't going well and the chipewyan people were not getting a lot of business the families would have to pay for it because they would not have food or clothing or items to build shelter but for me I have a shelter and I have clothes I don’t have to make clothes because I could be seen as more privileged than the chipewyan people.

What language did they speak?

The chipewyans government decided to try to educate their child(ren) at home so they can be more educated for fur trading for the men and staying at home and cooking for the women. But most parents protested over this schooling because they said they were too busy fur trading so many kids did not get any education when they were young.

The language they spoke is branch of the northeastern athapaskan language family closely related to the dogrib and slavey language.

How was there fur trade?

How did they meet their needs for food and clothing?

What did their food diet consist of?

The chipewyan people based their food needs on the migratory herd of barren caribou. The hunting consist of 2 or more groups of related families going after the animal but joined together could try to hunt a larger animal and share within the two groups. For the clothing, the chipewyan people traded the fur that they hunted for meat, iron, steel, brass, copper, cloth, pottery, and glass but from the cloth that they get they make clothes for themselves and their families so they weren't cold in the winter.

Their fur trade expanded from the Hudson bay to great slave lake in the late 18Th century and the early 19nth century. But soon Yellowknife took advantage of their strategic location in the early 19nth century and they started to take over one of the fur trade locations. Then some of the Chipewyan people started to hunt and fur trade in the full boreal forest, so there new location for fur trade was in the boreal forest.

Their diet consist of food what they hunted and killed and fur trading foods(ex.meat, rabbit , barren caribou, deer and other types of meat) so they were not very on the veggie side of foods. Also from this food diet you can infer that they could be ill very often.

They also relied on bison, oxen, waterfowl, musk and wild plants substences.
