The Fur Trade
Dressed in period costume as a Hudson's Bay fur trader, I visit your school with a
trunk full of Native artifacts, Hudson's Bay goods and historic photos. Following some
discussion I invite students to role-play Europeans and Natives as they conduct a trade
for the furs, blankets, beads and tobacco from the trunk. 1 hour program $75.00 + GST.

Role-playing an immigrant from the early 1900's, I discuss my life before immigrating
to Canada, as well as my experiences in a new land. I also showcase the antiques and
artifacts that I have packed into my trunk, highlighting the historical importance
of each. 1 hour program $75.00 + GST.
