Ultimately ,the fur trade also represerited "a retreating frontier for the civilization of the Indians, who had more furs than they could use; they eagerly exchanged them for European goods such as guns and metal tools. The fur trade led.to cul- tural and racial interchange as, well as - commodity ex- change. French traders and coureurs de hois married In- 'Lawrence River, around the Great Lakes and across: the northwest, wherever they were trading. English and Scottish traders. were not 'dian women along the St. 7 (7G =A ; HL \ SO Ne ANN NSN RD NN ANS a Naas a ~ RS x ~ permanently posted to Can- :ada and: did not live away from their posts to the 'same 'extent as the French traders. Even so, many of them inter- 'married .with the Indians of fhe Hudson Bay area, the prairies and the far west. But many of them left their children behind tobe raised as Indians. Trading alliances formed and broke among In dian tribes, and between In- dians and whites. Wars were fought over the lucrative fur trade . as 'the rivalry grew between English and French, between white and Indian, between the Hudson's Bay Co. and the North-west Cp. - The organization of the fur trade reflects this bitter political and corporate com- petition. It also reflects the harsh living conditions and rival fur-trading companies UXBRIDGE ROXY THEATRE HEPA IRE - WED. THURS, FRI. SAT.

These problems were conquered with an organiza- tion based' on tough central authority : and fortified out- posts. The trading posts aimed to dominate their ter- ritories 'completely, They discouraged the-enroachment of settlers on the wilderness, except in areas where the trading posts wanted agricul tural support for themselves. These autocratic outposts strengthened their rule over the wilderness when the two merged, but 'eventually, slow- ly and grudgingly they yield: |- ed . their grip as the "fur supply dwindled and the|' frontiers of heavy settlement moved westward. Industrial: ization followed, quickened by gold rushes, the advent of] steam powered transporta- tion, and the formation of strong central government provided by the Act.of Union and Confederation.
