Summary This is a story about the fur trade and First Nations, and the development of northern Canada, seen and experienced not only through Leonard Flett s eyes, but also through the eyes of his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.The lives of indigenous people in remote areas of northern Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan in the 1960s and 1970s are examined in detail. Flett s successful career with both the Hudson s Bay Company and the North West Company provides an insight into the dying days of the fur trade and the rise of a new retail business tailored to First Nations.
