The developers of this interactive Ojibwe Fur Trade curriculum offer a unique product. They have consulted both primary and secondary historical sources to assure that trapping incidents found in the game, and subsequent scenarios are historically accurate. The result is not only a realistic accounting of the fur trade era from an Ojibwe perspective but it also offers fun and engaging activities for students.
