Tales from the Bay
This website produced by The Hudson's Bay Co. features three short videos:
Thanadelthur: A Quest for Peace
The Transit of William Wales
George Simpson: The Birch Bark Emperor
Nancy Steele's comments: It would be fascinating to look at for stereotyping and perspective. I wonder if the story of Thanadelthur is told by any First Nations storytellers. It would also be interesting to see if students could rework the story of George Simpson so that it is told from a First Nations perspective. I wonder what the “country wives” would say about him.
