he language used through the text seems friendly and warm. Through this text were are able to see that there is recognition that both sides were I the wrong and that not once side acted less violently than the other. It also shows understanding to the opposing side and that they do not want to stay enemies but rather they hope to reconcile and make peace

Unlike the other document this one takes a much harsher approach and suggests that the British believed that the indigenous groups were at fault.

This part of the reading helps us understand that even though the indigenous people were letting the europeans settle on their land doesn't mean that they were naive or happy about what was happening, rather they were very much well aware and against the situation

This paragraph explains that the Mi'kmaq people were very open to the French settling in Port Royal, however they felt that the french are now starting to take over and it is effect the way of living for the Mi'Kmaq people people, they did not like that they wee being forced to take refuge on their own land.

By saying "our savages" it shoes that Le Loutre believed that the french people were responsible for the Mi'kmaq people

One thing that stood out to me the most in this excerpt compared to the one from Mary is that John comes across as much more positive and almost accepting. When speaking about herself and the Indigenous people she uses words like "they" and "I", while john instead uses "we". Based off the two readings it also seemed like John faced more "abuse" like when the indigenous man left him for dead "he said he knew I was under the Canoe, for there were no bubbles.... therefore he took care of his fine Sturgeon" yet he was still much more positive

After reading through the excerpt and the other annotations made, I have to agree that the way she was treated wasn't entirely terrible, however it is sill not a situation that anyone who came from the same upbringing that Mary did.

In one annotation that I read someone mentioned how Mary was treated the way many Indigenous women were treated, and that because of the caring nature and behaviours. When reflecting on what being held captive looks like, we often think of physical labor and abuse, not knitting and the jobs that Mary partook in. When looking at it in this light, no she did not face great torture, however, she was still held captive.

The work she was doing was not work that she was used to doing and she was not being fed properly, when she would ask for more food it was not given to her. " I asked my mistriss to give me a spoonful of the meal, but she would not give me a taste". Therefore although she was not treated as bad as we would expect, she still was a captive and was held in conditions that she was nnot used to.

States that the Mi'kmaq people are very smart however, one thing that they do lack in is their knowledge of God.

The Mi'kmaq who did get baptized are still participating in their own traditional rituals.

How could the M'kmaq be baptized and follow the path Gps wants them on when they are always moving around and don't have access to support from a priest, ect.

In order to sustain a life away from their drunk husbands they will have to become prostitutes, and it was. believed that it is very likely that a girl will have to performe for her father or a sister for her brother, ect.

Mi'kmaq Women were scared of their husbands causing them to run away with their children.
