| | Although eastern tribes, such as the Algonquian-speaking Micmacs, Montagnais, Naskapis, Abenakis, and Crees, were all involved in the French fur trade, it was the Iroquoian-speaking Hurons, living further to the west, who became the foremost suppliers. | | | Many of these men were halfbreeds, whose French temperament inclined them to frolic and song. | | | After the white traders, trappers, and hunters came the trading and military posts, and after the posts came the settlers. |

| | The Historic Fur Trade |
| | The fur trade has been called the quintessential staple industry, and its history provides perhaps the clearest demonstration of how a particular form of production could influence not only the development of an economy, but a country’s social, cultural and political institutions as well. | | | Many men sent to the colony as settlers, however, were drawn into the more immediately profitable fur trade, often forsaking the settlements for a life in the woods where some took up the ways of the native people. | | | After a period of local administration, the colony was subjected to direct French rule in 1663. |

| | At one time during the French regime the annual trade at the post of Ouiatanon alone is said to have been £8,000, and in the year 1786 showed an exportation amounting to £275,977. | | | The men employed as carriers by the early French traders were the famous coureurs des bois, a class of half-wild woodsmen, which stands out picturesquely in history. | | | The agents of the fur trade were the real explorers, and the recorded discoveries of the avowed explores were, doubtless, meager beside the unrecorded ones of the men who traversed the streams wherever there was a chance of Indian trade. |

| | Upon the amalgamation of the NWC with the HBC in 1821, many of those trading posts which had operated at a loss were terminated and the premises abandoned. | | | This NWC establishment is believed to have been named Fond du Lac (Smythe 1968:244) and was sufficiently large to take most of the trade, leaving Andries with very little: | | | Harrison's House was one of those which was discontinued and the HBC consolidated its operations at the former NWC post at the opposite end of the lake, Ft. Chipewyan. |

| | As the local economy moved away from trading in furs, the Native Americans became economically obsolete. | | | As early as 1584, Richard Hakluyt was advising Queen Elizabeth I to consider America as a source of raw materials and as a place to export England's excess population. | | | This destruction of the European forests and the insatiable demand for furs led to the near-extinction of the beaver by the 16th century. |
