A. Fill in the blanks of the following paragraphs; use the words provided as well as Chapter
7 of the textbook; some of the words may be used more than once:

Seigneurial System

Seigneurs

Settlers

Habitants

The _______________________, or the long-lot system, was a form of land distribution in which _______________________,

or the nobility of France, were given the task of recruiting _______________________ to populate the colony of New

France. These _______________________ were also known as _______________________.

Accommodation Biculturalism
Assimilation
Residential Schools

Over the course of Canada’s history, ethnicity has played an important role in shaping the way governments

ruled over their population. Canada had first experienced a policy of _______________________, the active pursuit of

governments trying to dilute one culture by absorbing them into a larger, more dominant culture. A

prominent example of this policy can clearly be seen in Canada’s _______________________; these institutions live in

infamy for their prominence in portraying the government’s attempt at removing the cultural identity of its

indigenous peoples.

On the other hand, the opposite can be seen in the treatment of citizens in New France. Initially, the

population of New France was met with the same policy of _______________________, however, the government at

the time did a complete turnaround when they accepted a policy of _______________________, or

_______________________; the Quebec Act of 1774 clearly shows this when its rules allowed French civil law to

remain in force.

meant that Canada recognized the fact that its society was made up of many culturally distinct groups, and
that its government should promote the freedoms of these groups.

All of this history now shapes our society today, and the idea that people should be free to retain their own
cultural traditions, or _______________________, has contributed to Canada’s population being a
_______________________—a society dedicated to honouring people’s ethnic and cultural roots.

Indian Act

Although Canada’s society is as it is now, it must not be forgotten that its government once used the
_______________________ of 1876 as a tool to encourage assimilation. This still remains in place today, and the
people who are eligible for the benefits entitled in this statute are defined by the statute as a
_______________________. Not only that, but it also defines who is not a _______________________, thus preventing
possibly legitimate First Nations people from being entitled to its benefits.

Still, assimilation was still a threat in modern times. For instance, the Quebecois were worried about the high
levels of British immigration during the 19th and 20th centuries. In response to this, the Quebecois resisted
fiercely. In the 1960’s the _______________________ was a time of intense social, political, and economic change in
Quebec; this was when the Quebecois began to assert their rights and promote their language and culture to
resist being assimilated into a continent of over 300 million Anglophones.
