Chapter 4: The Fur Trade

The growing economy in Canada as a result of the fur trade, brought both the French and the British

together

. Sometimes this could result in violent conflict over fur trading territory.

Economic

competition

played

a significant role in the British and French struggling for power in Canada.

What

competitions

have

you been in? What is the most important competition you have been involved in?

In

economic competition, "winning" means controlling more wealth than other people.

List

5 factors that

would

help the British or the French win this economic competition.

Timeline of the Fur Trade

We’re going to create a timeline of the fur trade together

We will examine:

Who, where and when?

How did economic competition shape the fur trade?

What roles did French, British, First Nations, Metis and Inuit peoples play in the fur trade?

How did the fur trade influence migration and settlement?Slide3

This timeline will be treated as a journey of discovery. The timeline is really important because the fur trade had a significant impact in how Canada developed.

Timeline of the Fur TradeSlide4

Phase 1:

The Early Fur Trade: 1500-1603

P.108-109Slide5

Cod Fishing and its role in the settlement of Canada:

The

Mi'kmaq began to trade fish with Europeans who came to Canada to fish for cod on the East coast.

When

the British would come to shore to dry their fish, the Mi'kmaq would trade furs with the French

when

they came to shore to gather supplies and get fresh water. Slide6

Glimpsing at the Early Fur Trade

Early fur trade seemed to benefit both the Europeans as well as the First Nations. However, most

historians

agree, that as the fur trade progressed, it became less beneficial to the First Nations.

Why

do

you

think this is the case?

Come

up with at least 3-4 reasons why the fur trade would favor the

Europeans

as time went on. Slide7

Glimpsing at the Early Fur Trade

Within this early fur trade, we see a rather fierce competition begin to develop between the French and the British.

Create at least 3 similes to compare the relationship between the French and British

.

E.g. The British and French would fight like cats and dogs. Slide8

How would this competition change the fur trade for the First Nations?

How

could competition affect the:

Environment?

The need for new

technology?

The way First Nations used the

land?

Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC)

The HBC was the main competition for France in the fur trade. Britain had offered a group of fur

traders

a monopoly on the land surrounding Hudson's Bay known as Rupert's land. Slide13

Middlemen Emerging:

The

Cree and

Nakoda

soon became middlemen in the trading system between the Hudson's Bay

trading

forts and the First Nations in the west. Due to these tribes being centrally located in the middle

of

the West, they were able to shuttle furs between tribes and the HBC forts. The

Anishinabe

also

became middlemen in this trading relationship. Slide14

Voyageurs:

New

France hired men to make canoe trips in and around the Great Lakes.

The French had

established trading forts in these regions and these voyageurs would make the trips between the

settlements

in order to trade furs.

The French

had a strategy to help build and protect their fur trading

relationship

with the First Nations. They began to initiate cross-cultural marriages with First Nations.

The French

would call the children of these marriages, "Metis" or mixed.
