Portage 1: Fur Trade Quilt Station
Fur trade brought together in harmony, and sometimes conflict, the interests of First Nations peoples, the French, the British and Métis. The patterns of movement and the relationships the fur trade developed left a permanent mark on the formation of Canada. Quilting encourages creative expression and allows a diverse group of people to participate and contribute to the finished product. Our quilt station will reflect our creative expression and the finished product will reveal a diverse picture of the people, products and roles in the fur trade. My quilt block is number _______ on the trifold. My quilt block shows: _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

ii._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
GETTING STARTED ON YOUR CARTOON From what you know of these rival companies, take a few minutes to come up with a cartoon that symbolizes a key event or aspect of the relationship between the two companies. Remember, a political cartoon expresses the artist’s opinion about a person, issue, or event. Artists use symbols, images, and words (speech balloons, captions, and titles) to convey their message to the audience. Think about the following important points, before beginning your cartoon:
1. Decide on the key event or aspect of the relationship between the HBC and the NWC that you want your cartoon to be about.
2. What is your opinion about it? What message do you want to give the audience? 3. Think about how you can express this opinion using images, symbols,
colour/shade, and a few carefully chosen words. You may want to brainstorm ideas on the bottom of this sheet.
4. Consider using a simile, metaphor, or irony for your title and/or caption.

these, but NOT correct them!) STEP 7: Make corrections based on your editor’s comments. STEP 8: Write or word-process your good copy. STEP 9: Double-check to MAKE SURE YOUR NAME IS ON THE TOP OF YOUR GOOD COPY!! STEP 10: Hand in your inquiry question: good copy stapled on top of rough copy.
Portage 11: Conflict at Seven Oaks Why do this activity?
1. The conflict at Seven Oaks shows the nature of the fur trade – it was very competitive and the two companies did not like each other! This was not the only time there was violent conflict between the 2 companies.
2. This activity illustrates what historians do – they use evidence and sources to create a story (narrative) about an event in the past.
Background Information: The Conflict at Seven Oaks was a shootout between a group of Métis people loyal to the North West Company, and a group of colonists loyal to the governor of Rupert’s Land and the Hudson Bay Company. Nobody knows who really fired the first shot, but we do know that only 2 Métis men died, while 21 of the 24 governor’s men died. You read the evidence and decide for yourself – who fired the first shot? Was this an accident, or a planned attack on the Hudson Bay settlement at Fort Douglas? Directions: 1) Read the 3 articles provided and listen to the sound clip (if you have time) about the Conflict at Seven Oaks. Refer to the Hints Page! for help. Take notes on the back of this page as you go. Be sure to identify the ‘who, what, when, where, and why’ of the event. Feel free to use more paper, if needed. 2) Using your notes, write up a newspaper article that describes the events. Whose perspective will you choose to take? That of the Métis, or that of Semple and his men? 3) Be sure to include an eye-catching title that will catch the readers’ attention, and a caption for the picture describing the event according to the perspective you choose to take in the article. Newspaper Article Checklist: o I read the articles o I took notes describing the 5 Ws o I decided who fired the first shot o I remembered to include the date o I included an eye-catching title o I wrote an article from either the Métis OR the HBC’s perspective o I included an appropriate caption for the picture
