This game focuses on key words from the stories of early explorers, treaties, colonies, and the fur trade that built the foundations of Canada ([Guiding question](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47657), [Guiding question](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47667), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47681)).
