The third reading consisted of “The Beothuk on the Eve of their Extinction” and “The Collapse of the Beothuk World.” I found both articles very interesting. Both were about how the Europeans basically took over the Beothuk First Nations peoples of Newfoundland. These were great articles describing the events that took place when the Europeans arrived and expected the indigenous people to change their life to be like them. This began a violent fight for the land. Eventually the Beothuks became outnumbered and over time became extinct.
You can read more about the extinction of the Beothuk peoples in my Reading Log #3.
