  2. Population Patterns • Population Density identifies how many people live on a given area of land. • Population Distribution is the pattern in which people are settled. • Clustered, Compact, Loose-knit, Linear

  3. Urban/Rural • Urban Centres • Higher density population • At least 1000 people • 400 or more persons per square km. • Rural Areas • Countryside • Fewer people per square km.

  4. Rural Push is when people move from the rural areas into the urban areas. • Urban Pull is when the conditions in the area attract people to move there. • Movement away from an area is called outmigration.

  5. The population of Atlantic Canada is made up of many cultures.

  6. Aboriginal Peoples • Different groups have developed distinct spiritual traditions, languages, and cultures.

  7. The Innu • Newfoundland and Labrador • Used resources from land and sea • 2 groups • Call their land, Nitassinan.

  8. Algonquian Nations • 3 Groups • Mi’kmaq (NS and parts of NFLD) • Maliseet (parts of NB) • Passamaquoddy (PEI and NB) • Hunting, fishing, trapping, and trading.

  9. The Inuit • Northern Atlantic region • Palaeoeskimo Groups and Thule

  10. Beothuk • Newfoundland • Hunting and fishing • Are now extinct • Last known member, Shawnandithit, died of tuberculosis in 1829.

  11. Effects of Contact • Ethnocentrism • The belief that their culture and beliefs are better than those of others. • Kept the Europeans from appreciating and understanding the Aboriginal peoples.

  12. Early European Settlement • Early 1600’s • Immigrants from England and France • Need resources (fish and fur) • Competition between English and French for control of land (17th –18th century)

  13. The Acadians • French Canadians. • Northern NB.

  14. Imagine… • Imagine you are a farmer and you’ve settled down and NB has become your home. • The British have gained control of NB. • The British pressure you to swear allegiance to the crown. • What will you do?

  15. Imagine… • Some agreed; however they wished to remain neutral in the event of a war. • This causes tension and thus there are conflicts. • Would you swear to something you did not believe?

  16. Settlers • Most European settlers from the 1600s onwards were English, Welsh, Irish, or Scottish immigrants.

  17. African Canadian Communities • 1600s and 1700s, British traders captured people in West Africa and brought them to North America, to be sold as slaves. • Halifax was a part of the slave trade.

  18. Immigration • Refugees: people who are forced to flee their home. • A number of people immigrated to Atlantic Canada after WWII and in the ’70s. • They have contributed to our growth in Urban areas.

  19. HOMEWORK • Think of a project that you think I would accept. • The project must demonstrate that you have learned something from the four chapters in our “Physical Setting” unit. • Present your idea to me on paper or wiki-space. • I will decide on one or a choice of the topics.
