    She's such a sweet girl and wears her heart on her sleeve. I wonder if her family member was exposed to the fur wars between the Northwest co. and the Hudson Bay co.

    IS there any specific reason why you cannot put up the whole episode?? Either in one long episode, or if you have to divide it up, then make it 2, or 4 parts?? these small clips are bloody awful to follow in any meaningful order!!!! This particular clip of Sarah at James Bay was fascinating. But it would be better of there was some context around it.

    -25 up North? She must have gone in spring or fall when it was a little milder. It gets much colder than that

    The Hudson Bay Company is still in business today. It’s Canada’s only remaining original department store.

      The North West Co is still in operation (and older by a couple years). HBC is now an American owned company.

    I know this was forever ago...but my Mom used to work in Moose Factory as a nurse and when she was little lived in the First Nation's community at James Bay before they were flooded out and displaced for the hydro electric project...an evil Canada still perpetuates against our first peoples.

    I was a little surprised by Sarah's reaction to the furs. Does she not eat meat, or wear leather shoes? Maybe she doesn't, though.
    Personally, though, my reaction when seeing the furs is that they would be lifesaving and wonderful in a northern Ontario winter, and as welcome and necessary a sight as a bowl of stew to a starving person. In the north warm clothes are no more a luxury than food or water is. Actually hypothermia will kill you much faster than starvation.
    I can see how to someone living in a city in Europe they would be more like a fashion thing, and the beaver hats were certainly just fashion, but she's just that day walked around outside on a not-even-unusually-cold day, you'd think she'd immediately grasp how amazing and warm those furs would have appeared to her ancestor. (And to all the local trappers and hunters, many of whom wouldn't survive without the clothes they sewed from similar furs). I doubt his reaction would have been like hers at all; I'm sure he would have admired the furs and their warmth.
    They're talking about the 1800s, definitely pre-Thinsulate and pre-Gore-Tex after all :). No synthetic substitutes to save you from dying in the cold back then. They probably had imported wool from overseas by then, but that's about the closest thing to a substitute I think they'd have for fur.

      Hides for outer clothing, wool underneath. Trapping was done at such a massive scale for fashionable hats that the beaver were on the brink of extinction. They didn't make the hats from the hides but from the undercoat fur which were felted.
