Assignment #7.

I liked the ''we built'' section of the meet the personalities section of the Canadian museum of civilization website because it shows you really who discovered and started the country hundreds of years ago.

The profile I chose was on the French explorer, Samuel de Champlain. I chose him because he was a very interesting person because he was one of Canada's first people, one of the first discovers of Canada, and was a mapmaker. He traded furs with the aboriginals and fought in some of the aboriginals peoples wars.

I think that the explorer John Cabot should be added to the website because he is said to be the first European to set foot on Canada, David Suzuki should be on the website because he is a very well known Canadian environmentalist, he would probably fit into the ''we inspired'' category. Another influential person is Roberta Bondar, one of the first Canadian female astronauts, I think that she would fit into the we inspired section because there is not very many women who are astronauts but didn't stop her from becoming what she wanted to be.

I was most like Thomas Longboat, a world famous long distance runner. I couldn't figure out who it was because I had never even heard of him. We both liked sports and running

I think that I would want to be remembered for being so good at skate boarding that I would have achieved the Tony Hawk status at skate boarding or beat Barry Bonds record for home runs but I wouldn't use steroids or land a 1080 degree spin on my skate board and get in a world record book and being a mega millionaire, I hope.
