Red Canoe - Merino Wool Tartan Quebec Scarf | U-SCV-PQ-01

The Province of Quebec was originally inhabited by the great tribes of Algonquin and Iroquois who flourished there for millennia. The arrival of French explorer Jacques Cartier in 1534 led to a thriving fur trade and resulted in the founding of Quebec City as the fortified capital of New France. French-English rivalry saw the fall of Quebec City to the British upon the Plains of Abraham in 1759 and the colony was then divided into Lower and Upper Canada. Since Quebec’s founding membership in Canada in 1867, the survival of French culture has been central to Quebeckers. Quebec and its people remain among the most vibrant and colourful in the world making it a wonderful part of the mosaic that is Canada.
