Discussion Post: Contact and the Fur Trade
Watch the following YouTube videos:
"Sunshine in Huronia"
"The New World of Champlain"
Compare these videos with article "The Other Side of the Ledger: An Indian View of the Hudson's Bay Company" by Martin Defalco & Willie Dunn. Watch the video (the video you just watched in the fur trade section) and answer the following questions. I want you all to use SPECIFIC examples from the films in your answers. The video can be found in Contact, Cooperation, and Conflict. The Fur Trade Across Canada.
o How did contact impact Indigenous peoples?
o What did they believe they were signing up for in their alliances?
o How different does the Fur Trade look through Indigenous eyes?
The response should include a reference list. Using one-inch margins, Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space and APA style of writing and citations.
