THINK…

The Governor General could establish treaties with the Intendant’s agreement
But, sometimes the Governor could overturn the decisions of the Intendant if he got permission from the King.
Ex: Governor Frontenac vs. Intendant Duchesneau
Power Struggles
![Page 21: Dossier 1 – Power Relationships in New France](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568160e0550346895dd00ff8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
But…The Intendant managed the budget which included military spending

17th century: The French vs. The Amerindians
Their relationship included alliances and conflicts linked to the fur trade.
The First Nations provided furs to the French.
In return, the French gave gifts to the Indians.
This type of trade is known as bartering.

Excerpt from a speech by Governor General Louis Hector de Callières in front of 1300 Iroquois representatives:
"I hereby ratify the peace that we have made today[…] hoping that we never speak again of the troubles endured during the war, and for this reason, I have seized all of your axes and your other instruments of war, that I will place with mine in a hole so deep that no one will ever be able to use them again to ruin the tranquility that I have reestablished amongst you, my children […]. […] I attach my word of honor to the necklaces I give to each of your nations so that your elder may pass this lesson along to their young members. Now, I invite you all to smoke this peace pipe that I will now light […].
