Did first nations and europeans live together or in different places?

First Nations and Europeans primarily lived in different places during the early periods of contact, with Europeans often establishing settlements in designated areas while Indigenous peoples maintained their traditional territories. However, there were instances of coexistence and interaction, such as trade and intermarriage, particularly in regions where European settlers sought to establish relationships with Indigenous communities. Over time, these interactions led to significant cultural exchange, but also to conflicts and displacement of First Nations peoples.
