People/Subject

Hudson's Bay Company

The Hudson's Bay Company was formed in 1670. For much of its history it was focused on trading with the many Indigenous peoples of North America for furs. The company was central to the colonization of Canada and early European / Indigenous relationships. The Hudson's Bay network ran across Canada and it held claim over large portions of the land, often acting as the local non-Indigenous authority. The company lives on today as "The Bay" a department store.
