History 101 – Primary Source Analysis
Value: 60 Points total. Will be scaled to 15% of final grade.
Three important ideas in this course are the following: first contact, relations between European immigrants
and the Indigenous (Aboriginal) Peoples of Canada, and explorations of Canada. In this assignment, you will
examine how European explorer Simon Fraser, with the help of Aboriginal Peoples, explored and documented
many parts of interior British Columbia. Four documents providing four different accounts of Simon Fraser’s
journey are part of this assignment and will help you to understand these ideas.

videos.

Paragraph 4 – 10 Points
There are four different documents for this assignment: Fraser’s Journey, Selections from Fraser’s Diary, Son

slightly different way. Think about point of view and the ideas covered. Further, the sources tend to contradict
each other (dates, times, numbers). Find three examples of how the information in one source disagrees with
the information in another source. What do these contradictions say about historical source materials? Use all
of the sources.
