Québec: A Discourse on Nations | Chapter I - Née dans les lis.

“Québec: A discourse on Nations“ is a three-part documentary series exploring the concept of nationhood through the example of the Canadian province of Québec. In these videos we aim to explore the many phases and evolutions of French Canadian identity, while also exploring the history of Canada with a focus on this region of the country. In this first episode we explore the very origins of this story -- from its very origins. Going from the arrival of the Early First Nations to the aftermath of the British Conquest, looking through the history of New France: The French North American colony, and the reason why there are French people in Canada in the first place. Our objective with this video will be to lay out a comprehensive background to then proceed with the developments of the XIXth century. ============== Introduction (0:00) Prologue: Ice and Fire (4:19) Part I: Je me souviens (11:14) Part II: La Conquête/The Conquest (35:26) Part III: Never will
