In the early period after Can-ada was discovered by the French, the people of Europé had little interest in the new land. It was not until rich and glossy furs made their appear-ance on the European market that the people of France and England began to realize the possibilities of this great un-known country.

Almost immediately small bands of fur-traders poured in-to Canada. They penetrated the forests, and navigated the rivers where no white man had ever been before. They were most enthusiastic explorers of the country but they dicl not have any desire to settle down and live on the soil. They were after furs, and furs were the only reason why they had come to this country.
At first the Indians brought the pelts to the small cities. mainly Montreal and Quebec. Soon however, the animals which had been plentiful near

bring the furs down to Montreal as the distances were too great, and the fur-traders were forced to go to the Indians.
These first fur-traders were called ‘coureurs-de-bois’. They went out into the forests and traded with the Indians. Others, called the 'voyageurs1 brought the furs by boat to the cities.
After the English took Canada, English traders began to
Bay Company which had been founded in 1670 to carry out trading witli tlie natives of Ru-pert’s land, which was the name of the territory around Hudsons Bay. For a while this company remained alone in large-scale trading operations but graduajly a group of Canadi-ans, of both French and English -origin, began to compete with the English group and they organized to form the North West Company.
This company included many of the coureurs-de-bois and the voyageurs and their descend-ants. It knew how to deal with the Indians and generally was in a better trading position than its rival — the H,udson’s Bay Co. The “North Westers” as they were called had the men who knew how to deal with the natives, but it did not have the financial resources which the English organization possessed.
Competition for the exclush e marketing of furs caused the price to fall rapidly. Soon profits became almost nil. In their efforts to persuade the Ind.ans to sell to them, the companies paid higher prices than evei before. They travelled deeper an ddeeper into the Indian territory to be there before their competitors, and sometimes they attacked the trading-posts of their rivals.
Soon neither the North West Co. nor the Hudson’s Bay Co found the fur-trading business profitable. They were fighting each other with the result that I the money which they should |
