When my sister passed away years ago in Alaska, her dying wish was that I bury her alongside her native husband who’d passed away 3 years earlier, and also that I wrap her body in our grandfather’s Hudson blanket, which I did. That blanket was always a source of great comfort from her early childhood until her passing 56 years later.
Just asking if you are holding any information on the native small pox genocide if so then it should be disclosed or it would be criminal to keep it covered up. Like do you have all the shipment dates from 1700-1800 in Canada I'd love to see those records and see how they relate to when and where the small pox breakouts started holding this information means you acknowledge that this is the case as well making you and your company coverup a genocide. No business or corporation should be emune to the law especially under genocide. Just my two cents
As a recovered anorexic, I look at Julia and wonder, duh? Oh I get it- super fast metabolism? ! ( do I wish I was still her size? Yes. But much of my hair fell out- what a sick culture, much of my neighborhood is obese...

Yeah, there was certainly some coming together. Take Marie-Joseph DeGuire, for example. She married Jean Etienne Wadin, whose father was apparently a professor at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland. She was Ojibwa. I can't imagine a wider cultural difference. Wadin was one of the co founders of the North West Company. One of their children married Governor James Douglas' boss and another the first Presbyterian minister in Lower then Upper Canada. One of their grandchildren succeeded John Strachan as Bishop of Toronto. A descendant, Norman Bethune, is history's most famous Canadian, with name recognition from 1.4 billion Chinese.
It seems that this was a good product, honestly made, and a significant life improvement for the indigenous people who purchased them. So it wasn't all bad. A relief, since my several greats uncle Donald MacKenzie was Chief Factor for a period.
I laughed at the letters. I liked your video a lot, think you explained the context around the blankets perfectly. I just want to say something sorry 😅 I can’t read letters like those, also can’t read old archive docs filled with surprise neutrality / admiration of an indigenous person without feeling a bit sus. It just feels like a joke written by some real evils. I understand why it’s generally accepted as possible by ppl whom are kind hearted and living without the same trauma indigenous and mixed ppl carry (whether they know it or not. maybe some euros carry now too) .. maybe a small handful just don’t care. I think some writers knew boundaries well, what would not raise a red flag to most yet still also feeling unbelievable to ppl like me and others too
While he recovered from that broken leg he was an apprentice to Phillip Turnor -- my 5th great grandfather. He would teach Thompson everything he knew about cartography. It was Turnor who was the first surveyor sent by the Hudson's Bay Company to Rupertsland. He trained both Peter Fidler and David Thompson.
Beautibul button down! Could you please tell me where you bought it? Hopefully you dont yhink its a silly question. The reality is that not all button downs fall the same way. I teally like the collar on this one.
Kinda dumb to bring up the "white male fur traders" when all the fur traders that I'm aware of were white and male. At any rate, why does it matter? Are you just trying to shoehorn diversity where it doesn't exist?
