The Fur Trade

Do you know the real reason we acknowledge this day?  It does have religious significance!
Before the March Break we concluded our study of the Fur Trade.  We continued to be surprised about the abuses the First Nations suffered and the arrogance that the European explorers, settlers, and missionaries had.  Check out the photos of the real objects that the students were able to touch!
