Three Centuries of Fur Trading
Relive fur trading history through a replica of a typical Hudson's Bay trading post. The exhibition features a timeline which provides an overview of the national developments that affected the fur trade in Canada and their impact on Red Lake.
The exhibit explains the history of the two most powerful fur trading companies, their battle to stay on top and the outcome. The relationship between Aboriginal women and the fur traders is explored and a special local section highlights the history of the Hudson's Bay Company and other fur traders in Red Lake.
