Fur Trade Goods and First Nations Tools

Save the Fur Trade Session Pre-Program Activity on to your desktop. Enlarge the activity to the maximum size of your print paper and print. Have the students draw a line to match the fur trade goods to the equivalent First Nations tools.

Ask the students these questions after they have completed the activity:

• Can you guess what this item was originally made from?
• Can you guess what this item was used for?
• Why do you think First Nations peoples wanted European trade goods?
