QUEBEC.- Jamestown, Québec, Santa Fe charts the development of three early North American settlements established by British, French and Spanish settlers at the beginning of the seventeenth century — Jamestown in 1607, Québec in 1608 and Santa Fe in 1609 — and the ways that development shaped modern North America.
The exhibition features over 130 artifacts, including Native and European artifacts, paintings, maps, documents, and ceremonial objects from royal collections and museums on both sides of the Atlantic. The exhibition explores the development of trade, agriculture, society and religion in the three settlements, as well as the relationships with indigenous peoples like the Powhatan, Algonquin, Huron and Pueblo.
The Canadian Museum of Civilization presents this exhibition to pay tribute to Québec’s 400th anniversary, which marks the foundation of the first Canadian city and the birth of the first permanent French settlement in North America.
The exhibition is jointly organized by the Virginia Historical Society and the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History, with support from the Robins Foundation, Land America, Jamestown 2007, and the Virginia Department of Historic Resources.
