At the end of the 15th Century the  Age of Discovery and Exploration was just beginning. In 1534 Jacques Cartier made contact  with  the  Iroquoian peoples of the St. Lawrence River valley. It was all downhill from there.  In fact  things will  never be the same. Old World pathogens  will soon destroy anyone's way of life who happens to call the Americas home.
