Recently, researchers from Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) and the Ministere de !'Environnement et de la Faune du Quebec (Quebec Ministry of the Environment and Wildlife) have measured levels of furans, which can be present as impurities in com­ mercial PCB mixtures, in Bay sediments. These are among the highest reported in Canada.

  • The Fur Trade and Early Capitalist Development in British Columbia
    THE FUR TRADE AND EARLY CAPITALIST DEVELOPMENT IN BRITISH COLUMBIA RENNIE WARBURTON, Department of Sociology, University of Victoria, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, V8W 2Y2. and STEPHEN SCOTT, Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K1S 5B6. ABSTRACT/RESUME Although characterized by unequal exchange, the impact of the fur trade on the aboriginal societies of what became British Columbia involved minimal dis- ruption because the indigenous modes of production were easily articulated with mercantile capitalism. It was the problems arising from competition and increasing costs of transportation that led the Hudson's Bay Company to begin commodity production in agriculture, fishing and lumbering, thereby initiating capitalist wage-labour relations and paving the way for the subsequent disast- rous decline in the well-being of Native peoples in the province. Bien que characterisé par un échange inégale, l'impact du commerce de fourrure sur les societiés aborigonaux sur ce qui est devenu la Colombie Britanique ne dérangèrent pas les societés, car les modes indigènes de production était facile- ment articulés avec un capitalisme mercantile. Ce sont les problèmes qui venaient de la competition et les frais de transportation qui augmentaient qui mena la Companie de la Baie d'Hudson à commencer la production de commodités dans les domaines de l'agriculture, la pêche et l'exploitement du bois. Par ce moyen elle initia des rapports de salaire-travail capitalist et prépara les voies pour aboutir å une reduction catastrophique du bien-être des natifs dans cette province. THE CANADIAN JOURNAL OF NATIVE STUDIES V, 1(1985):27-46 28 R E N N I E W A R B U R T O N / S T E P H E N S C O T T INTRODUCTION In the diverse cultures in British Columbia prior to and after contact with the Europeans, economic activity included subsistence hunting, fishing and gathering as well as domestic handicrafts.

    The Earlv Hudson's Bay ~om~an;Account ~ooksas SOU~~~Sfor Historical Research: An Analysis and Assessment "Truth isn't in accounts but in account books . 'The real history is written in forms not meant as hist~ry."~ The potential value of the business records of the fur-trading companies as sources for economic and ethnohistorical research has long been recog- ni~ed.~Indeed, some of the fur traders were aware of the historical value of the accounting records that they were keeping. Issac Cowie, for instance, served the Hudson's Bay Company in the Saskatchewan area in the 1860's and 1870's and subsequently wrote about his experiences. In his memoirs he included a section which dealt with the kinds of information that historians could find in the post business accounts. Also, he stressed that these records should be pre~erved.~Fortunately, most of the 18th-century business documents of the Hudson's Bay Company have survived, and in fact, the accounting records of the posts are frequently more complete than other lines of evidence such as correspondence files or daily journals of events. Yet, although scholars have been mindful of. the possible utility of business accounts for historical research, relatively little use has been made I The author would like to express his appreciation to the Hudson's Bay Company for granting him permission to consult and quote from the company's microfilm collection on deposit in the Public Archives of Canada. The reproductions of account book pages which were provided were also greatly appreciated. Also, I would like to thank the staff of the Public Archives of Canada in Ottawa, particularly Peter Bower and Gary Maunder, for their friendly help.

Avant le fusionnement de leurs compagnies en 1821, les hommes de la Compagnie de la Baie d'Hudson et ceux de la Compagnie du Nord-Ouest employaient normalement des termes different pour designer les indigenes metisses des territoires indiens. Ces usages contrastants semblent refleter la difference d'attitudes et d'antecedents de ces deux groupes d'employes ainsi que les structures sociales distinctes dans lesquelles ils etaient integres—avec des implications quant aux genres de rapports sociaux que ces commercants entretenaient avec les groupes indigenes (en grande partie algonquins) et leurs membres. 210 Originally published as part of: 6th Algonquian Conference Papers (1974) FUR TRADERS. RACTAT, CATEGORIES, AND KTWSHIP NETWORKS In the decades between the 17cOs and 1821, the country of numerous Algonquian groups, as well as of many groups farther north and west, was also increasingly familiar territory to two varieties of European fur trader—Hudson's Bay Company men employed from London, England, and Canadian-based traders serving the interests of the various Montreal fur trade partnerships that eventually combined into the North West Company. The Hudson's Bay and North West Companies had strikingly different origins, histories, and organizational structures, and their personnel differed widely in their social origins, backgrounds, and 1 affiliations. This paper attempts first to sketch some of the social contrasts between these Companies and between their men, and then to pursue some possible relationships between these contrasts and the racial categories and attitudes of Hudson' s Bay men and North Westers in the Indian country.
