"Canadian Wilds" by Martin Hunter is a historical narrative that unfolds the story of the Hudson's Bay Company and its deep connection with the Northern Indigenous peoples during the early 1900s. Through his own 20-year experience with the company, serving in roles from a clerk to a commissioned officer, Hunter shares a unique perspective on the era's fur trade, trading post establishments, and the complex relationships between the company employees and the Native Indian tribes. The book’s opening reveals hunting and trapping practices, the company’s influence, and the unforgiving conditions of the Canadian wilderness. Hunter describes the cultural and commercial exchanges, while also highlighting the environmental and socio-economic implications of settling into the Canadian wilds.
