Reed believes that a Tezucan scholar, under the direction of a European teacher, was the one who created this codex in the year 1530 (Reed 1938: 66). The Codex Ixtlilxochitl was named after Fernando de Alva Ixtlilxochitl, who was a member of the ruling family of Texcoco. Alva was primarily concerned with the narrative as a record of pre-conquest events (“Aztec Codices” 2004; “Codex Ixtlilxochitl” 2001; Graz Codices 1993). This codex reflects the order of events of New Spain in the early colonial period. It portrays a much more European conception rather than Aztec in the way that it is styled.

Many people believe that slavery of the Native Americans was a result of the Europeans colonizing the New World, but it was not. The indigenous people, long before the settlers arrived were enslaving each other. However, the native people did not exploit slavery on a large scale. Instead, they used the captured slaves to replenish their tribe’s fallen warriors or to replace people who have died of disease. When the Europeans arrived to inhabit America, Native American the slave trade changed significantly.
This was also controversial since Smith had been accused of mutiny while on the voyage. The settlers established Jamestown in 1607; but it did become the first permanent English settlement in North America. Smith was now the colony's leader and also led a number hunting and exploration expeditions around the area. On another trip later that year, Smith was taken captive by the Chief of the Powhatan Indians and was incidentally condemned to death. Pocahontas, daughter of the head Indian chief, saved Smith's life for she had a certain curiosity about the new English settlers.
Many of the Huron were not satisfied with their new visitors and eventually turned against these missionaries. With the Jesuits setting up permanent missions in Huronia, the Huron people suffered from many diseases including an epidemic of measles. With the Jesuits mass influence, the Huron felt their culture had been weakened due to the introduction of alien spiritual elements. Without knowing this themselves, the missionaries may have inadvertently contributed to the destruction of Huronia. Father Francois Du Peron was one of the many missionaries who was involved in this plan, and was part of the missionary order located in the Huron Country during the sixteen-hundreds.

Some believe that it originated in Arabia and spread eastward to Tibet and then westward to Spain, finally following the Arab trade routes to other Mediterranean countries.

The Earl of Selkirk quickly resettled the colony. Some tension between the nor’westers, with their allies the Metis, and the settlers led to violence. North West Company men and half-breeds now resorted to violence on a large scale, killing 22 in the massacre of Seven Oaks (June 19, 1816).
