The beaver is the [blank_start]national[blank_end] animal of Canada. It represents [blank_start]perseverance[blank_end] and [blank_start]industry[blank_end]. [blank_start]Millions[blank_end] of years ago, [blank_start]glaciers[blank_end] covered all of [blank_start]Canada[blank_end]. Beaver dams are made from [blank_start]mud[blank_end] and [blank_start]sticks[blank_end], and it serves as the beaver's [blank_start]home[blank_end].
For [blank_start]thousands[blank_end] of years, fur had been used for clothing. It was a symbol of [blank_start]wealth[blank_end] and [blank_start]power[blank_end].

The [blank_start]British[blank_end] were also interested in the Fur Trade. The [blank_start]Hudson[blank_end]'s Bay Company was formed in [blank_start]1760[blank_end]. King [blank_start]Charles[blank_end] the [blank_start]II[blank_end] of [blank_start]England[blank_end] gave the company control of all land from northern [blank_start]Quebec[blank_end] to the [blank_start]prairies[blank_end]. They called this region [blank_start]Rupert's Land[blank_end], which was named after the King's [blank_start]cousin[blank_end]. The idea of the company came from two [blank_start]French[blank_end] traders. They sold the idea of building a company to the [blank_start]British[blank_end].
The British traders did not go out into the [blank_start]wilderness[blank_end] themselves. They instead use the [blank_start]Natives[blank_end] to bring the furs directly into the shores of Hudson's Bay. Then [blank_start]larger[blank_end] ships would take the furs to [blank_start]Europe[blank_end].- ABritish

As the fur trade travelled further [blank_start]west[blank_end], the contact between Europeans and the Natives [blank_start]increased[blank_end]. That meant that [blank_start]Europeans[blank_end] began marrying into Native [blank_start]families[blank_end]. The [blank_start]Metis[blank_end] was a blend of North American Indian and European [blank_start]ancestry[blank_end]. Most [blank_start]Metis[blank_end] people spoke either [blank_start]French[blank_end] or [blank_start]English[blank_end] and at least one [blank_start]Native[blank_end] language. [blank_start]French[blank_end] were Roman [blank_start]Catholic[blank_end], while those from an [blank_start]English[blank_end] or Scottish background were [blank_start]Protestant[blank_end]. The [blank_start]Metis[blank_end] were very important as they were sometimes worked as [blank_start]guides[blank_end], [blank_start]trappers[blank_end], and company [blank_start]clerks[blank_end].- Awest
