How did Jacques Carteir's journey affect indigenous people?

Jacques Cartier's voyages to Canada in the 16th century had profound effects on Indigenous peoples. His encounters led to increased European interest in North America, resulting in colonization that disrupted Indigenous societies, cultures, and economies. The introduction of European diseases devastated Indigenous populations, who had no immunity, while the subsequent fur trade altered traditional lifestyles and relationships. Cartier's interactions set the stage for further European encroachment and the eventual displacement of many Indigenous communities.
