Together with her husband and a small group of other fur traders, she travelled from Quebec halfway across North America. The only way to make the journey was by canoe. These people were looking for a steady supply of animal furs. They travelled across huge lakes, up raging rivers, and through thick forests. ]]> 2017-04-18 18:05:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mya_mcintosh/bo06gf5v0dsr/wish/166843999 mya_mcintosh https://padlet.com/mya_mcintosh/bo06gf5v0dsr/wish/166850305 In eastern Canada, people from Quebec, England, and Scotland had been looking for furs for sometime. They would meet with First Nations people who knew where to find and trap animals. In exchange for the furs, they offered First Nations people goods such as kettles, cloth, metal tools, and weapons. This exchange became known as the fur trade. Canadian and European traders began pushing farther west in search of more and better furs. The journey over land to the West was long and hard. Some traders travelled more than 3000 kilometres, paddling most of the way in their canoes.]]> 2017-04-18 18:23:40 UTC https://padlet.com/mya_mcintosh/bo06gf5v0dsr/wish/166850305 mya_mcintosh https://padlet.com/mya_mcintosh/bo06gf5v0dsr/wish/167038315 2017-04-19 15:04:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mya_mcintosh/bo06gf5v0dsr/wish/167038315 mya_mcintosh https://padlet.com/mya_mcintosh/bo06gf5v0dsr/wish/167050604 Anthony Henday was born on the Isle of Wight]]> 2017-04-19 15:36:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mya_mcintosh/bo06gf5v0dsr/wish/167050604
