What an amazingly interesting insight into history. Sure prices now are just a bit higher than back then, but probably not much. No conibears or snares back then. Rather funny, the racist remarks about the "white children". Guess the funniest thing is that the native children aren't treated much better now. The truth is God will have judgement day for us all.
In this video it was said that the pelts are to be sold only to licensed buyers. I'll bet the Natives Historically were Ripped off by Hudson bay. When there is No Competition by location and by Law. This puts the seller at a Complete Disadvantage. Best Wishes! M.H.
@@canoeman1961I can not say for sure about other markets. But who do you think pushed for laws to allow the locals to sell only to the Hudson bay buyers. And why else would they want these laws? Anyone with knowledge of history and who has critical thinking skills will know that the " Natives " were low balled on thier prices for fur. Also one of these films said that the Hudson Bay buyers became quit wealthy. I have never heard that the Native trappers were wealthy. Best Wishes!
My grandfather was a Cree trapper around this time, and in this area. Very interesting glimpse at what his life may have been like.
Flat out love these old trapping hunting video's.
The trapper in the film is George Moore and not George McLeod as the narrator calls him.
George didn't get all those kids from shaking hands with his missus.🙂
My mom's from Moose Factory and my dad is Blackfoot. I been there twice in my life.. I'll take my kids there one day.
Neat old movie. Thanks
What a rough life it must have been. People were so tough!
Yeah, tough life alright, but I bet he didn't have to deal with someone not using the right pronoun !

Beaver meat is delicious. Mink is terrible. Even the dogs don't want to eat it.

@@mikehagan4320 Was there a great discrepancy in prices paid at these outposts as compared to more open markets further south or west?
