Süžeeskeem Tekst

  • For a while I have watched the traders from the NWC come to our village. They are very social and many have taken up with our women. I have never seen a trader from HBC here and I have never seen any of them mate and have children. Even though they spend most of their time on the road the NWC men have become like family.
  • Its time that I start trading fur pelts like others in my tribe. People tell me that the English at HBC have a standard price but I will need to travel quite a distance to get there. I will first stop and visit the NWC post and then I will continue to the HBC.
  • Travelling by canoe it is easy to reach the NWC. They are actually inland and so it is not necessary to go to the Bay to trade with them. I went by river and then moved inland to get to the trading post.
  • Once I arrived I was surprised by two things. How easy it was to deal with the NWC and that you could trade furs for alcohol.
  • One thing I remembered was that I could barter to try to get a better deal with the NWC. They took all of my furs and all of the other items I had brought as well.
  • I had a very successful trip to the NWC. So successful that I needed to get more fur pelts to continue my trip to the HBC. I camped for at least a week so that I could trap.
  • Back onto the canoe for the long trip to the HBC trading post on Hudson's Bay. I trapped along the way so I would have enough to trade with.
  • After travelling for a few weeks I finally reached the HBC trading post.
  • Once I arrived I could tell that this was a large trading post and that the English were much more formal.
  • I was correct- the English at HBC are much more formal. There is no trading for alcohol. They do not barter.
  • The HBC offered a fair price for my furs and even though they do not trade for alcohol they had lots of other things to trade for that the NWC did not have.
  • One of the most important things I traded for was some HBC blankets. I have wanted one of these for a long time and I will be able to take them back to my family.
  • The weather in the Bay was starting to get cold and so it was time to head home.
  • I did not stop to trap on the long trip back to my village. I had a lot of things I had traded for and wanted to get them home quickly.
  • I could see snow on the hills and mountains and so it was lucky I had those blankets!
  • My first trip was successful. I will travel to the HBC post again because they have so many things to trade for. I will let the NWC traders come to me and I will barter with them for a good deal and alcohol. They are here a lot now because they have wives and children to visit.
