Also important, is that in 1810 The North West Company established Spokane House. This was not just a house, but also a compound of buildings including a store, and an office for trading. This is the first non-Indian settlement in Eastern Washington. Spokane House established a cultural and social center in this region. Fur trading was what drew non-Indians to our region and interestingly, the value of items was determined by beaver pelts: “Prices on an 1824 list from Spokane House ranged from "Scissors" for "½ beaver," to "American rifles" for "30 beaver" (Becher, 39).
CANADIAN TRADE WITH THE UNITED KINGDOM BY ABDULLAHI MOHAMMUD DATE: 03 – April - 2013 SECTION 1 History: Trade relations between Canada and the United Kingdom (U.K) first started with the fur trade. The Aboriginal people traded animal fur especially beaver pelts for other manufactured goods such as knifes, pots, kettles, beads, needles, and blankets with the British ships.

A Brief History of Saskatchewan First Nations Tribes Saskatchewan as a geographical area was over time home to many indigenous cultures.

Sir John A. Macdonald Confederation Speech History Assignment Kaltun Abdirahman Dave Nesbitt CHI4U 07/11/14 Honourable members, in this speech I would like to state some of the internal and external factors that influence the confederation of Canada. There are numerous influences which have caused us to consider becoming a confederation. The internal factors include political standstill resulting from the current political structure and The Intercolonial Railway of Canada which would improve trade, military movement, and transportation in general. On the other hand, the external factors include the American civil war, the U.S. doctrine of Manifest Destiny and the Fenian raids. Now, in regards to the comparative advantages of a Legislative
Kurtis Clark Mrs. Vendrimini May 13th 2015 CHC2D Canada- UN Activities and Canadian Identity In the United Nations (UN), Canada plays a very important role in peacekeeping operations, foreign aid and in international agreements. Canada has been a member of the UN since 1945. Canadian, Lester. B. Pearson invented UN peacekeepers as a response to the 1956 Suez crisis but Canada has been participating in peacekeeping missions early as 1946(Wood1-2). When it comes to international agreements, Canada is an active participant and has signed various treaties over the years.
Also, they border the North Pacific Ocean to the west. However, Canada also borders the North Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Arctic Ocean to the north and covers most of the northern part of the North American continent. Its area is 9,984,670 sq km and the area of Mexico is 1,972,550 sq km. Therefore, Canada is about 5 times as big as Mexico.

Author’s Name Professor’s Name Course Name Date Due Canada’s social history Over the years, Canada’s citizenship arguments on political and social theories have undergone reissuance. Through this we realize how class, gender, ethnicity and race have shaped Canadians history from the early 21st century. These heated debates have led to various theories illustrating how unequal citizenship has been practised and applied in the institutions and power systems of Canadian society. Between the years 1920 and 2005, Canada has encountered complex challenges in its social history (Cross 345). This has been caused by its multifaceted design of ethnic and cultural diversity.
Immigration in the United States of America Lori Garcia-Daviau ETH/125 October 9, 2011 Keith Makedonsky Immigration in the United States of America My ethnic group is unique. I am Metis, which in French, means “mixed”. The Metis are a race of their own, not just an ethnic group. This race, and ethnic group was formed by the blending of the Native Mik’ Maq Tribe of Nova Scotia, Canada, and the French settlers that went to Canada to colonize that country. We, as a group, immigrated into the United States, coming down through what we know is Maine, into what became New England, and fanned south all the way to Louisiana.
Ramsay Cook’s article, “The Social and Economic Frontier in North America” provides evidence of the first relationships and trade between the Natives and the first Europeans to arrive in North America. Similarly, Cornelius J. Jaenen’s reading, “Amerindian Views of the French Culture in the Seventeenth Century” has argumentative information about the relationships the Indians and Europeans formed, based on their trading goods. Also, this essay acknowledges Bruce G. Trigger’s ideas from his article, “The French Presence in Huronia: The Structure of Franco-Huron Relations in the First Half of the Seventeenth Century” about the negative turn in relationships between the Indians and Europeans during the fur-trade. The fur trade played a significant role in determining the dynamics of the relationship between the Indians and Europeans. The relationship was positive at the beginning of the Native-European contact because of their reliance on each other for trade goods but in turn, negative consequences of Native-European contact arose during the fur trade which resulted in the relationships becoming weakened and problematic.
Uniforms are garments of a similar ("uniform") pattern worn by a group of individuals to indicate their identity and function. Uniform clothing was used in ancient times and has been especially popular with the military since the emergence of standing armies in western Europe during the 17th century. Colonels of REGIMENTS found it convenient to require their troops to wear uniforms on which they could realize a profit from pay deductions, a system that lasted into the 1850s in the British army. Uniform colours varied greatly at first. In Canada, the first large body of uniformed men appeared in 1665 with the CARIGNAN-SALIÈRES REGIMENT dressed in brown coats lined with white and grey, black hats and buff and black ribbons.
