Travel Assignment #3: Life in New France

Hello Time Traveler,

Your next mission is to go to New France in the mid 1600s.

You will need to get clothes that allow you to fit in with the average person in the colony of New France in order to observe life there.

Pay particular attention to the interactions between the habitants and seigneurs and how the members of the Sovereign Council have different roles.

You need to report back to me what you see.

Don't forget to include:

  • who were the habitants?
  • how did seigneurs divide up land and get jobs done?
  • what were the different roles of the Sovereign Council?

Please also include some pictures that show what life in the colony was like. 


Please report back no later than December 8.



Good luck on your mission!

Sincerely,
Mr. Peabody
