Fur Trade
Europeans and Indigenous Peoples of Canada interacted through the fur trade for almost 300 years. This photo is from the 1950s, when the extensiveness of the trade network had much declined from its peak in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
This resource is intended for educators in Canada who are teaching in English.

The resources I’m getting from my colleagues through Facing History have been just invaluable.
