European Explorers This website will introduce you to twelve early European Explorers. Come along for the journey and see where it takes you... Christopher Columbus See the Map John Cabot See the Map ... See the Map Christopher Columbus He was born in Genoa, Italy, but he sailed for Spain when King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella said they would pay for his voyage in 1492. Columbus went to get spices and gold from Asia by being the first to sail west. He found islands which he thought were part of the Indies. He brought back Native Americans (mistakenly calling them “Indians”). He did not find much gold, and he did not see Japan. The King and Queen named him, Admiral of the Ocean Sea See the Map Choose Another Explorer John Cabot He was born in Genoa, Italy, in 1451, the same town and the same year as Columbus. He moved to England and became the King's friend. Cabot sailed to Newfoundland in 1496, and made a map of the area. He thought that he found China, but he did not. In 1498, he left with 5 ships for another adventure, but he was never heard from again. See the Map Choose Another Explorer Vasco Nunez De Balboa He was from Spain. He sailed to Columbia in 1500. He then lived in Hispaniola and in Darien in Panama (Central America). He heard about another ocean, so he led an expedition west in 1513. There he found a big peaceful ocean (Pacific Ocean) that he named the South Sea. He was no longer a favorite of the King. He was arrested, convicted of treason, and beheaded in January 1519.

David Thompson Bi-Centennial Commemoration Take a walk along the lakeshore in the Town of Lac La Biche and see the David Thompson Statue. The statue was built to commemorate David Thompson's landing on this lakeshore back in 1798. In addition to this point of interest you will also find a network of trails. David G Anderson He has been called the world’s greatest land geographer. Certainly no man of his time saw the rivers, islands and peoples of the western reaches of our continent with a vision so clear. His precision maps remained the official maps of western Canada for a hundred years and his perceptive writings have enabled us to see the aboriginal peoples of the early fur trade and to know the ways of a world long since vanished. Yet, less than a hundred years ago, his name was known only to a few. Even today, there is no known portrait of David Thompson and we remain unable to picture him other than by dwelling on his known similarity to two other historical figures: John Bunyan and John Philpot Curran. A Welsh boy at Hudson’s Bay In 1784, as a 14-year-old Welsh boy in London’s Grey Coat charity school, David Thompson accepted an apprenticeship with the Hudson’s Bay Company to learn inland surveying at the remote fur trade posts of Hudson’s Bay.

Edwardian A BRIEF HISTORY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY We invite you to learn about the achievements of humankind in discovering, studying and creating the world as we know it. ANCIENT Similarly, the ancient Egyptians also discovered ways to dominate the land and thus, made a number of strides in agricultural technology. The Egyptians developed a range of agricultural tools, such as hoes, rakes, scoops, sickles and plows, usually constructed from wood and stone. The Egyptians also learned to exploit animal labor, and frequently used pigs and sheep to trample the ground and soften it up. Donkeys were used to trample the harvested stalks and separate the grain. Perhaps their greatest achievement, however, was developing a carefully organized system of dikes and irrigation ditches with which they managed the annual flooding and silting of the Nile and thereby allowed to grow a rich bounty of grains. MEDIEVAL Among the early Medieval civilizations, the Maya are remembered for being advanced mathematicians and astronomers. They developed the most complex writing system of Mesoamerica, with ideographic and pictographic symobls, as well as systems for coordinating astronomical events with territorial history. Their detailed writings revealed precise mathematical notations as well as use of the concept of zero. The Incas of the fifteenth century continued this tradition of innovation, practicing sophisticated medicine, including brain surgery. The Incas skillfully constructed bridges, tunnels, aqueducts, terraces and buildings. They were also advanced metallurgists, lining the Temples of the Sun and Moon at Cuzco with gold and silver.

David Thompson In Comparison, Lewis and Clark were Tourists He has been called the world’s greatest land geographer. Certainly no man of his time saw the rivers, lands, and peoples of the western reaches of North America with such clarity of vision. His precision maps remained the official maps of western Canada for a hundred years, and his perceptive writings have enabled subsequent generations to envision the first nation peoples of the early fur trade and to know the ways of a world long since vanished. Yet, less than a hundred years ago, his name was hardly known. Even today, there is no known portrait of David Thompson, and we remain unable to imagine a picture of him other than by dwelling on his known similarity to two other historical figures: John Bunyan and John Philpot Curran. No likeness of David Thompson exists. The famous geological explorer, Joseph Burr Tyrrell, while editing Thompson's diaries for the Champlain Society, received correspondence from one of Thompson's six daughters that claimed her father had an "excellent likeness" to John Bunyan. The famous 17th century English writer and preacher. J.J. Bigsby, a British Army surgeon and geologist, who sat next to Thompson at a North West Company banquet in Montreal, in 1820, reported in The Shoe and the Canoe, published in 1850, that the famous explorer "greatly resembled [John Philpot] Curran, the Irish orator." Based on these assertions, this computerized composite suggests a "new" representation of what David Thompson might have looked like while mapping and measuring Canada during the first half of the 19th century.

Objective(s) A. Given a world map, the student will label the important rivers of the world with 80% accuracy. II. Background Information A. Drainage Basin: a more scientific measure of a river's greatness is the size of the land the river drains. That area is called a watershed or river basin. (You might know another word for basin: sink.) Not just one river but a whole system of rivers flows into a river basin. A river system is made up of a river and all its tributaries. (A tributary is a stream or river that flows into a larger river.) B. Asia: Ob River: The Ob River is one of the major rivers of Northern Asia. It flows from South to North through northern Siberia. It empties into the Arctic Ocean. The Valley it forms is largely uninhabited because of the harsh climate. It is 3,362 miles in length. Huang He River: The Huang He River is one of east Asia's major rivers. It is also known as the Yellow River. It begins in the Tibetan Highlands and flows east across China. The Huang He empties into the Yellow Sea. In the 1700s B.C., the Shang Dynasty became the first major civilization of east Asia. The river valley has been home to millions of people since the beginning of history. The surrounding climate is warm and moist and is most favorable for habitation. The valley is fertile, level, and well-watered. The Huang He is 3,395 miles long.

When Columbus first arrived in the New World, he noticed the natives playing a game with a ball made of gum. After 1615, the Spanish reported the Indians made crude footwear and even bottles by using his substance. In 1735, a French geological expedition reported the use of Caoutchoue as the condensed juice of the Hevea tree and crude rubber was then produced in France. A breakthrough in the manufacture of rubber came from the separate experiments of Charles MacIntosh and Englishman Thomas Hancock. The Scot had been trying to find uses for the waste products of the gasworks now springing up in industrial Scotland. He noted that coal-tar naphtha, which was used for lighting among other things in this author's own boyhood, especially in the traveling circuses and fairs, dissolved India rubber. By painting one side of wool cloth with the rubber preparation and then placing another thickness of wool cloth on top, MacIntosh produced his waterproof fabric.

You meet characters from another age, who are friendly and informative. You are invited to approach anyone at the site of the world's largest fur trading post. Welcome to Fort William, magnificent inland headquarters of the North West Company of Montreal, just as it was in 1815, the site of the legendary Great Rendezvous. Here, a colourful era of Canada's past comes to life. The North West Company, originated in 1784 by a coalition of Montreal fur traders, has become a global enterprise, challenging the Hudson’s Bay Company for domination of the North American fur trade. Since 1803, Fort William has served as a handy cross-country "midway" point, allowing for the transhipment of trade goods from the east and furs from the west in a single season. Grand Portage, in what is now Minnesota, was their first inland base but with the establishment of the American border and customs duties imposed on fur, the Nor’Westers decided to re-locate to Lake Superior in 1801, where they built Fort Kaministiquia. The Fort was re-named in 1807 in honour of William McGillivray, chief director of the North West Company.
