Fur Trade in Washington by Miss Hamill https://padlet.com/hamill_audrey/iqodi5809ok4 "The fur trade was important in Washington history for about 60 years, from the 1780s to the 1840s. During that time, trappers and traders learned a lot about the land. They knew the tribes that lived here. They learned about the climate and natural resources. They made some of the first maps of the Pacific Northwest." --Ruth Pelz en-us 2016-12-29 20:50:11 UTC 2023-07-16 20:03:45 UTC hello@padlet.com The Fur Trade Shapes the West hamill_audrey https://padlet.com/hamill_audrey/iqodi5809ok4/wish/144888801 Click this link to watch a 3 minute video about the fur trade from the History Channel. ]]> 2016-12-30 01:57:39 UTC https://padlet.com/hamill_audrey/iqodi5809ok4/wish/144888801 Print Materials hamill_audrey https://padlet.com/hamill_audrey/iqodi5809ok4/wish/144888871 Don't forget about all of the books and printed articles you can find in your research bucket:
