Before fur trade, fur trapping was an individual thing, people trapped fur for their own use and most of their time was spent hunting for food. After the firearms were introduced, it cut back on the time spent hunting, so people began to go out on the land to trap for furs. The iconic Hudson’s Bay blanket became their No. 1 trade good. This gave the Indigenous people a reason to go back to the trading post and settlements grew up around the posts, which were established on waterways and traditional trade routes.Article content
