    The Hudson's Bay Company tried to monopolize the fur trade by outlawing all other traders but the Métis were the majority in all the settlements, and refused to comply. They needed the Métis, so it finally made compromises. The Métis succeeded in breaking the fur trade monopoly that the Company had held until then, and they gained some political and property rights. The Hudson Bay Company could no longer enforce its monopoly and free trade became part of the Red River Valley.But slowly their old way of life was disappearing.The buffalo were declining in number, and the Métis and First Nations had to go further and further west to hunt them, In result, profits from the fur trade were declining because the Hudson's Bay Company had to extend its reach further and further away from its main posts to get…

    Upon winning the Revolutionary War Americans were filled with a compulsion to manifest their destiny. They were Gods chosen people after all. What could possibly come in the way of them achieving what was their God given right, their destiny? The fur trade draws its roots from early exploration in America. The fur trade was an entirely simple concept that relied on pillaging mother nature 's resources to turn the dollar. The fur trade set the mold for the modern day American corporations. It was the first industry in U.S. history to receive a federal subsidy; which is a form of government assistance to help out with financial needs and accommodations (sounds kinda of familiar to thecompanies of today eh?). Fur trading has been going on for centuries, dating back to Jacques Cartier (an explorer from France who would go on to claim what is currently Canada for France) who set voyage through the Canadian wilderness almost five hundred years ago. This industry is a cornerstone in the American business realm, and also in pioneering the early Pacific North West.…

    Building Noah’s Arch would be simpler than trying to catalog the history of Native North Americans in one six-hundred-word academic argument and any effort to do it justice would be futile. Using simplicity and generalities, the narrative of natives in North America is best summed up as a complicated, sophisticated, series of relationships built on mutual survival. Building and preserving trade networks was central to that survival. Peace and conflict frequently resulted as resolutions to these issues. Natives, similar their European counterparts, attempted to manipulate circumstances for their own benefit to strengthen their grip on the trade routes that dominated early American history.…

    The first attempt to establish a successful fur trade in colonial Arkansas did not go as planned. It wasn’t until the end of the 18th century when trade became an important part of the Arkansas Post. The most important trade items in early colonial Arkansas were bear oil, buffalo meat, and buffalo fat. Later, French trappers, traders, and hunters loaded canoes and flat boats with beads, guns, iron hatches, pots, knives, blankets and cloth to exchange for Indian furs. Unfortunately, the fur trade in colonial Arkansas was not always profitable.…

    The article “Women in Between”: Indian Women in Fur Trade Society in Western Canada”, written by Sylvia Van Kirk presents the lives of Indian women in the fur trade. The article title Women in Between is correctly named as it focuses on explaining the role of Indian women in the fur trade and their ability to play an essential part in fur trade society. The article conveys both the positive and negative aspect of being an Indian woman in the fur trade as well as their reasons for marrying European fur traders. The article helps us more to understand the fur trade society by focusing on the motives and actions of Indian women in the fur trade which furthers our knowledge of Canadian history prior to confederation. Women in Between examines through multiple sources of traders observation, the life of an Indian women in the fur trade based on the accounts provided by men. Since it was noted in her article that Indian women, coming from a non-literate society, have not left us with any writings of their own views and their motive for being in the fur trade or deciding to leave. The only historical reference of the lives of women in the fur trade is written by men and mostly European men. Women in Between discusses the unique and complex interactions between the two racial groups, white and Indian and the important role that Indian women played in this interaction. The article makes the argument that Indian women had a preference for living with and marrying the white man. Sylvia also argued that traders perhaps did not treat these women well and that the treatment of these women was disgraceful. The article also points out that Indian women had many advantages from the fur trade and their position as women in between, and therefore they manipulated the situation to improve their lives.…

    The fur trade had one of the highest impacts on First Nations, it provided them with European goods that they couldn’t usually get, and in turn, helped improve their social status. It opened the continent to exploration and established social and economic relationships between the Europeans and Indigenous people. I believe that the rise of disease was the most significant factor in the fur trade and had the most impact on the British Columbia population and First Nations people. During the initial stages of the fur trade, the first explorers arrived on ships to what is now British Columbia.…

    Miller identifies how First Nations had been important military allies for the European powers. They were treated with respect and the government made no effort to interfere with their governance or way of life. After the War of 1812, things changed. Miller states that “now that First Nations were no longer military useful, British planners had hoped to pen them up on reserves, switch their hunting-gathering-trading economy to settled agriculture convert them to Christianity, school their children, and to effect this assimilation so far as possible with their own money.” Miller goes on to argue that the government attacked first Nations’ identity, governance, land-holding, economic activity and cultural practices.…

    They would trade their goods with other native tribes. Native Americans hoped to incorporate Europeans into this system. For a while, natives did trade skins and hides, receiving wampum, sacred blue and white shell beads, in exchange from the settlers. “Exchange is meant not only the trading of material goods but also exchanges across community lines of marriage partners, resources, labor, ideas, techniques and religious practices.” Natives generously shared their belongings, supplies, food, and the skills necessary for survival in the New World with the settlers. In exchange, settlers gave Natives disease, death and robbed them of their…
