Travel Assignment #6: Hudson's Bay Company versus New France

Dear Mr. Peabody

i have traveled to the year 1730 and am now in the new world and the french/first nations are fighting and i aim to find out why. see you in a few years.

it is now the year 1740 the french and first nations are still fighting and i think in know why its because France because involved in a long-standing conflict between its fur trade allies and the Haudenosaunee. during this war the Haudenosaunee gained support from the dutch then latter the British who used conflict to challenge the french for domination of the fur trade. the Haudenosaunee defeated a key French ally the Ouendat in 1649 this removed the Ouendat as the middle man for the fur trade the Anishinbe and the French solders forced the Haudenosaunee to seek a truce.

1. Ouendat
2. Mi'kmaq
3. Innu
4. Kichesiprini
5. Haudenosaunee

because the beavers and other animals that people used to make there hats. there population was getting less and less so they had to move inland.the French and British had middle men and they used them as delivery men. made them run through the woods(cours de bois) or canoe through rapids (voyageurs). the Frenches fur trade came to abrupt stop because no first nations wanted to trade with them. 

this is the hudsons bay company.and this is the hudsons bay co. flag
