Do you remember what the official languages of Canada are? Of course, English and French.
It’s a little surprising isn’t it? Well, French has been spoken in Canada for a very long time. Read
this text and learn about one Frenchspeaking community.
In 1603, Henry IV, the King of France, granted Pierre Dugua de Mons, the right to colonize lands in North America
between 40° and 60° north latitude. He arrived with a group of 79 soldiers, farmers and craftsmen in 1604. The
French settlers built a fort at the mouth of the St. Croix River. The first winter was terribly difficult for the colonists.
The weather was very cold and they didn’t have enough to eat. 36 of the colonists died. The following year, the settlers
sailed across the bay to a better place and founded a little French colony called Acadia.
Their colony prospered and the colonists had good relations with the local native population, called the Micmac. The
Micmac taught the colonists new hunting and fishing techniques. The colonists also learnt how to make moccasins
from deerskin.
But French success in northern America caused rivalry with England (mainly about fishing and trade). Acadia, first
colonized by the French was now claimed by the English. Acadia was sometimes controlled by France and sometimes
controlled by England during years of struggle between France and England to reign over northern America.
In 1713, according to the Treaty of Utrecht, France had to cede Acadia to Britain. This made Acadia a permanent
British possession. As a result, Acadia was called Nova Scotia by the British.
The French-speaking Acadians were then considered a nuisance by the British not only because they occupied the
best lands but also because of their close relationship with France.
In 1755, the British decided that the Acadians had to swear allegiance to the British Crown and be prepared to fight
for Britain against France. The Acadians didn’t want to do this because they didn’t want to fight either against France
or their native neighbours who were allies of France. As a result, British troops burnt the houses and villages of the
Acadians, and confiscated their farms and crops. About 14,000 people were forced into exile.
Some of them managed to escape and reach Quebec which was still controlled by France. Others went on a long and
dangerous journey to southern Louisiana which was also a French colony.
They settled in Louisiana near New Orleans and their descendants still live there today. The Americans called them
“Cajuns” because they couldn’t pronounce “Acadien» correctly! Many Cajuns still speak a dialect of French.

Unité 04 - Piste 10
Pour beaucoup de mots, l’orthographe donne une idée de la prononciation, mais attention,
il y a aussi beaucoup d’exceptions en anglais !
Si le « i » est suivi par une paire formée par une seule consonne et une voyelle (« e » la plupart du
temps), il est prononcé [ai] (colonize / surprise / exile), et s’il est suivi de deux consonnes ou d’une
seule consonne à la fin du mot, il est prononcé [ɪ] (colonist / fish / little / panic)
Parmi les nombreuses exceptions, l’une des plus communes est le « i » suivi de « gh » : il est toujours
prononcé [ai] comme light / high / bright / night / slight / twilight …
Tu auras aussi peut être remarqué le mot ‘native’ qui fait également exception à la règle car le « i » se
prononce [ɪ].

Now practise saying the sounds [ɪ] and [ai], then go check “Le coin des curieux” online.

Pitikwahanapiwiyin (Poundmaker)
Also known as Poundmaker, Pitikwahanapiwiyin was a Plains Cree chief known as a peacemaker and defender of
his people.
He was in born in 1842 and he died in 1886. Remembered as a great ‘Cree’ leader, Poundmaker strove to protect the
interests of his people during the negotiations with the colonists.
Discontent with settler-colonists was spreading across the Prairies, particularly among Cree and Métis peoples.
They started planning and arming a rebellion which broke out in 1885.
While Poundmaker himself always advocated for peace, some members of his band thought otherwise.
The North-West Rebellion (also known as the North-West Resistance) of 1885 was a brief and unsuccessful upri-
sing against the government of Canada by an alliance of different communities including Métis people and First
Nations Cree.
The rebellion ended when the Métis were defeated at the Battle of Batoche. The remaining Aboriginal allies scattered.
Considered a peacemaker, Poundmaker did not take up arms in the North-West Rebellion. However, a young and
militant faction of his band did participate in the conflict, resulting in his arrest and imprisonment for treason.
Put on trial in July 1885, Poundmaker protested his innocence, telling the court that he did everything he could do
to stop bloodshed. However, the court still found him guilty of treason and sentenced him to three years in prison.
He served only one year before being released because of poor health. Four months later, he suffered a lung
hemorrhage and died.
Exercice 29
Now that you have read the text, answer the following questions. Write complete sentences.

Do you remember the Canadian flag? At its center is a maple leaf which is the symbol of Canada. We are
now going to look at a product derived from maple. Read the following text and do the exercise.

(Tu te souviens du drapeau canadien ? En son centre se trouve une feuille d’érable qui est le symbole du
Canada. Nous allons maintenant nous intéresser à un produit dérivé de l’érable. Lis le texte suivant et fais l’exercice.)
Maple syrup was discovered by the First Nation tribes of Canada many years ago, long before the first Europeans
reached North America. Every spring, when the snow began to melt, they would cut holes in maple trees and collect
the liquid (called sap).
They would put the sap in a pot and boil it. They would continue this process until all the water evaporated, leaving a
crystallized sugar.
Early European settlers added their own technology to making maple syrup.
They attached buckets to the trees to collect the sap. Maple syrup production
quickly developed because other types of sugar were hard to find and very
expensive at that time.
a bucket on a maple tree
Today people all over the world pour maple syrup on their pancakes or use it as an ingredient for cooking.
There are many maple syrup festivals in Canada. They generally take place in spring (March or April).
Did you know?
It takes 40 gallons of maple sap to make one gallon of maple syrup. The sap is boiled down over many hours in an
evaporator until it finally becomes the maple syrup you enjoy. (1 gallon = 4.5 litres)
A maple tree must be at least 40 years old before it can be tapped for its sap.
There are only 40 calories to 1 tablespoon of maple syrup.
