This is like a diary of Jacques Cartier, so I will consider this resource as a primary resource. In this diary, he described the situation of how they met the Indians, what those Indians did and why Jacques Cartier group killed two of Indians in the first meeting of them and Micmac Indians. Later, he talked about the situation of their second meeting, and how they made the deal.
From his describing, it should be the first contact between the explorers and the Indians. The Indians showed their enthusiasm to the explorers by making a big noise, dancing to explain their desire of making friends with the explorers. The Indians even showed the most precious thing, the “skinnies” on a piece of wood, to invite the explorers to come to the land.
