🌾 Fur Trade Explorer Tidbit. Peter Fidler – “Manitoba’s Johnny Appleseed.” Long before farming took root on the Prairies, Peter Fidler helped plant the seeds of survival at the Red River Settlement. A Hudson’s Bay Company surveyor, explorer, and mapmaker, Fidler went beyond trade routes and compass lines. He introduced the first cattle to Red River—a bull and a cow famously named Adam and Eve—along with poultry, changing life in the settlement forever. More importantly, Fidler shared essential

Fur Trade / Red River Settlement Christmas. Of Christmas 1821, Rev. John West tells us, his schoolmaster and a few Indian pupils were housed in abandoned Fort Gibraltar, he, himself was at Lord Selkirk's farm, but still holding his services in Fort Douglas, and all in the settlement were living on a pint of wheat a day, which they boiled into a kind of soup. #FurTradeHistoryTidbit #Voyageur #RedRiver #MetisHistoryTidbit #History #RedRiverMétis #MetisNation #CuthbertGrantJr #MetisHistory #Elders

Fur Trade Winter Survival. The Night the River Went Silent. The river froze so hard that winter it stopped singing. Old Voyageurs said you could usually hear it beneath the ice—a low groan, a shifting breath—but that night there was nothing. Just silence. The kind that makes a man pull his cap lower and thank the spirits for another sunrise he hasn’t yet seen. They were three days from the post when the storm came. The snow didn’t fall all at once.

Fur Trade Holiday Legend. We use to talk about this years ago at many a family dinners. Old traders said that on Christmas Day, the guns stayed silent and the grudges slept. For one night, even enemies shared bannock, stories, and warmth — because to refuse hospitality on Christmas was to invite misfortune for the coming year. “In the fur trade years, Christmas was not about joy — it was about survival, memory, and choosing to be human for one sacred day.” Old traders said there was one rule no

This is a metis jacket and it would have been worn primarily by trappers in the early days of the fur trapping enterprise in America. If you look at the materials you’ll notice porcupine quills, Venetian beads, and buckskin. It’s currently on loan to the @mfaboston so if you’re in Boston, definitely go check it out. #trappers #furtrapping #metis #metisjacket #porcupine #venetianbeads #buckskin #museumoffinearts #mfaboston #marksublette #medicinemangallery | Mark Sublette Medicine Man Gallery
