The Voyageurs - Men of The Fur Trade
This video contains an account of the courageous, low paid, adventuresome canoe paddlers who moved trade goods from Montreal to posts as far west as the Mississippi river and returned east with furs. European expansion via the fur trade was literally carried on the backs of these Frenchmen. Routes traveled, portages crossed, foods eaten, dangers encountered and related experiences are told. Re-enacted scenes of original Voyageur activities and authentic songs bring the story to life. | DVD or VHS | 23 minutes | Grade 4-12 |
