North West Company

Fast forward to 1789 at 14, I moved to Montreal for additional schooling, where Uncle John was active in the fur trade. Then in 1792, I was apprenticed to the fur-trading North West Company.

Company coat of arms.

In 1801 I was elected one of the company's youngest partners. Then an opportunity came...

In 1805, I was selected to expand the company's operations beyond the Rockies. I got to explore, and it was all funded by the company!

That is when I founded the first European settlements in central British Columbia, establishing Fort McLeod in 1805.

Fort St James

and Fort Fraser in 1806

and Fort George (present Prince George) in 1807

Look!! A bridge named after ME.

I called this area New Caledonia, as it reminded me of my mother’s descriptions of the Scottish Highlands.

Another brass and dovetail pipe tomahawk finished up! This time with simple unengraved file finished head with remnants of burnt alphaltum paint, and a painted handle with inscribed floral motifs. Drilled and sealed with buckskin gasket ready for smoking. A good representation of British fur trade tomahawks of the early 1800s See our website www.irontreeforge.com #brasstomahawk #pipetomahawk #reproductionweapons #tobaccopipesmoking #furtradeaxes #furtrade #1812 #reenactment https://www.instagram.com/p/CoBY--Bs3OL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When I was at the furtrade, I thought that I was mundane 'Cause I couldn't draw, my mutual was, and I had no suit made I fled the con, tears rushing down my face But like, "Ben, you've loved furries since before pre-K?" Yippin', yeah, I guess i had a point, didn't I? Bunch of stereotypes all in my head

I remember doing the math like, "Yeah, I'm good at furboliche." A pre-conceived idea of what it all meant For those that like mundane sex, had bald characteristics–

Want to watch something very yukky but so informative? . Have you seen the movie by @waterbearnetwork 'Slay' about the use of 'natural' and animal products in the fashion industry from wool to leather, fur and faux fur. They do a great job creating conversation around what is greenwashing, sustainability and ethical practices around the world when it comes to our clothes. . Excerpt from waterbear.com: "... SLAY takes a unique perspective on the animal skin trade in the fashion industry and what has to change. . This is a never-before-seen documentary that brings together a host of celebrities, experts and campaigners to expose unethical practices whilst showcasing practical solutions and has launched exclusively to a global audience for free on WaterBear." . Highly recommend if you are in the mood for an intelligent horror - it is lifechanging. Well, it was for us here at Painted Bird at least. . Have you seen it already? . . . . . #documentary #greenwashing #movies #truthordare #naturalfibres #wooltrade #leathertrade #furtrade #ethicalfashion #sustainablefashion #paintedbirdnz #style #trends #learning #fashionhorror #wearwhatwehave #goodfashion #reuse #relove #vintage #sustainablestylistnz

It's great movie. Saw it 2023 on Night Visions film festival. Their later film, Lake Michigan Monster, is good too. Just not as great.

Keep fighting Beavers and the furtrader's Daughter is one of hottest love interests ever

I just watched the first cinematic masterpiece of 2024, Hundreds of Beavers, chronicling the life of American trapper Jean Kayak, from visionary director Mike Chetnik. 

Available for rent on AppleTV and Prime Video, but you can watch it free with a one week trial of indie film streaming service Fandor. The less you know going in, the better, imo, so just start the movie already. 

PS - Eat your flipping heart out, The Revenant. 🦫🦫🦫
