Ok you can have it but you have to give me the fur as a trade
Phase 2
Wow, seems like France is just taken over everything
Yeah, Khimani but they need our fur and we need the fish so we are making this fur trade work now
Phase 2: Expansion Inland1603-1670
The Story of the fur trade told by Khimani Afflick
Phase 3
Phase 3: Rival Networks 1670 - 1760
Where the fur trade started between the Europeans and First Nations
Phase 4
The French
What a great idea to focus on the fur trade
Expansions started to happen and also France dominated North America. Quebec & Montreal were critical for the fur trade network that ran along the St. Lawrence river
Phase 5
Phase 5: Monopoly in the West 1821 - 1870
HBC + NWC =Together
Britain established the Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) in 1670 while Cree & Nakota worked for both the British & the French
HBC
Northwest Company took over the French trade network and while it was British-owned it only had French & Metis working for them. New France became a British colony in 1763
British Owners focusing on land and farming
Phase 4: The Drive West 1760 - 1821
First NationWorkers
Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) & Northwest Company (NWC) merged and HBC began to lose their monopoly, as independent Metis traders won a court case that allowed them to supply pemmican & furs to the Americans
My name is Khimani, in this phase, we have merged the two companies. While also losing the fur trade and buffalos are starting to disappear... it is all very sad
