The People of New France (French: Brève histoire des peuples de la Nouvelle-France) is a book of Canadian history during the 17th and 18th centuries written by Allan Greer and published by the University of Toronto Press in 1997 and by Boréal in 1998 for the French version, as part of the Themes in Canadian History series.

One 2007 review of the book describes the treatment as focusing on "... colonial society 'as it was' by examining the 'frameworks of ordinary life' – death, birth, marriage, food, race, class.

[4] The work was also included in the 2003 Historica Summer Institute, an annual program aimed at providing high school teachers from across Canada with "strategies and perspectives for teaching Canadian history".

[5] The book appeared on the reading list for a course on New France at Queen's University in Kingston, HIST 350.

The book has also been assigned for HIST 334, History of New France, at McGill University, where Greer is currently teaching.
