Once upon a time, in a place called New Brunswick, there lived a little girl named Amar. New Brunswick is a beautiful part of Canada with rivers, forests, and friendly people. Amar loved to learn about how things change over time. She discovered that New Brunswick has changed a lot, just like people do as they grow. Let's explore together how New Brunswick and its people have changed!

Long ago, the Indigenous Peoples were the first to live in New Brunswick. They have been here for thousands of years, living in harmony with nature. Amar learned that the Mi'kmaq and Wolastoqiyik are some of the original peoples of this land. They taught others how to respect and care for the earth. Amar was amazed by their beautiful stories and traditions.

In the 1600s, French settlers came to New Brunswick. They were looking for new places to live and called it Acadie. Amar found out that they built homes and started farms along the rivers. The French settlers brought their language and culture, which is still a big part of New Brunswick today. Amar loved learning about the Acadian festivals and delicious food!

Over time, more people came to New Brunswick, including British Loyalists, Irish, and Scottish immigrants. Each group brought their own customs, stories, and foods. Amar saw how these different groups made New Brunswick a colorful and diverse place. Today, people from all over the world continue to make New Brunswick their home. Amar realized that change can bring wonderful new things!
