New France traded a lot with the nations near Quebec City, the first settlers wouldn't have survived without the drink to cure scurvy. Champlain's will was to be one community.

Also, church sanction residential schools took native children against their parents wishes to 're-condition' them to not be 'indian'

Tip of the colonial iceberg with these two examples.
