By the time of European arrival in 1722, the island's population had dropped to 2,000-3,000 from a high of approximately 15,000 just a century earlier.

Those early European arrivals did not intend to settle Canada.

Indigenous peoples had fished at the falls and inhabited the area for thousands of years before European arrival.

Early European arrivals described the sweet smell of the valley's vegetation as a "strong perfume."

The European arrival also led to the elimination of the San population.

At the time of European arrival in what is now America, there were thriving trade routes throughout this hemisphere.

But it was a different indigenous group who profited from friendly contact with the new European arrivals.

The most punishing effect of European arrival and settlement was loss of land.

The region was not entirely "isolated" or "cut-off" from the outside world before the European arrival as is sometimes reported.
