like nearly everyone else, I've had to endure countless on and offline “HOT TAKES” about Kendrick Lamar's SB halftime show, it's astonishing this performance generated so much controversy compared to Burton Cummings' appearance at the CFL Grey Cup nearly a quarter century ago.  Have we already forgotten Cummings not only setting fire to a Canadian flag, but a Canadian flag that was wrapped over a basket of kittens?  Sure, i bet a few of you were phoning talk radio to complain the organizers should've booked the Nihilist Spasm Band or Fur Trade or at the very least a collaboration between the two, but by and large this horrible incident has been wiped from the history books and I think you all know why.  At least I hope some of you know why, because I am counting on you to ring in or DM to let me know. (above :  from left to right, Burton Cummings and The Albert Henry George Grey Cup.  Not shown - the Canadian flag he set on fire and later urinated upon to extinguish the blaze)

Wir springen in dieser Woche nach Nordamerika. Wir sprechen über den Pelzhandel des 18. und 19. Jahrhunderts, der lange Zeit von zwei großen Handelsunternehmen dominiert wurde. Den Treibstoff für die Expansion lieferte allerdings eine ganze bestimmte Speise: Pemmikan. Wir sprechen in dieser Folge darüber, was Pemmikan ist, woher es kam und weshalb es schließlich auch Auslöser für etwas war, das heute als der Pemmikan-Krieg bekannt ist. // Literatur - Christopher Adams, Gregg Dahl, und Ian Peach.

Award-winning author Leila Philip writes about about the profound ways beavers, the fur trade, and Indigenous stories have shaped our history, culture, and environment.

In this episode, Leigh Langford and Kayla Wilcox talk about the fur trade which is often associated with the colonial phase in our nation's history. The conversation touches upon the exploitation of furry mammals and how that related to economic development. It also explores other side effects both past and present from those early impacts.

The goal of this "high altitude" episode is to establish a framework for forthcoming episodes covering the period between roughly 1640 and 1670. We look at the geopolitical landscape in the territories of today's northeastern United States and eastern Canada in the middle 17th century. The key players are the European settlers - English, French, Dutch, and Swedish - and the most important Indian nations - the Susquehannocks, the Five Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy, the Leni Lenapes, and the Hurons. They fiercely competed over the trade in fur, from the European point of view, and manufactured consumer products and weapons, from the Indian point of view. There would be blood.

We sip the coffee and tell the story of John Nosler sitting down with a Springfield 03-A3 to shoot a minute-of-angle at 1,000 yards. With a rifle he had never fired before. Bill Lewis was one of the founding members of the Central Oregon Shooting Sports Association park we call COSSA, a premier gun range located 24 miles east of Bend, Oregon. I worked with Bill Lewis at Nosler Inc. in 1997 and he was a big help in writing the book John Nosler Going Ballistic. Bill's fifth grandfather was the Hudson's Bay Company explorer and surveyor Peter Fidler. Bill is in the process of building a rifle similar to the one his grandfather carried between 1789 and 1820. If you want to support free speech and good hunting content in the Internet Age, look for our coffee and books and wildlife forage blends at https://www.garylewisoutdoors.com/Shop/We recommend our latest book Bob Nosler Born Ballistic.

In the most basic sense, what's commonly referred to as “the fur trade” was a period of cultural and economic exchange between Native Americans and European Americans, according to the Minnesota Historical Society. As the pages of history were put down, one aspect that was continually overlooked is the role women played at home, in the woods, and throughout many aspects of life during the fur trade. The simple truth is that Indigenous women actively contributed to the success of the North American fur trade, according to Karl Koster, a Minnesota historian who specializes in the history of the iconic fur trade. In this MinneCulture In-Depth feature, KFAI contributor Joe Friedrichs explores the role of women during the fur trade as told through the lens of a Grand Marais woman, Laura Powell Marxen. Laura continues to trap and sell fur on Minnesota's North Shore, much like her great-grandmother, Mary Ottertail, did in the early 1900s near what is now the end of the Gunflint Trail. Season 7 of the MinneCulture podcast is edited and executive produced by Julie Censullo and hosted by John Grebretatose. Support for MinneCulture on KFAI has been provided by the Minnesota Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund.

In this podcast episode, Greg Marchildon to Scott Berthelette about his book Heirs of an Ambivalent Empire: French-Indigenous Relations and the Rise of the Métis in the Hudson Bay Watershed. The book is based on Bethelette's PhD dissertation which he completed at the University of Saskatchewan in 2020. He explores how relationships and family ties were involved in the relations between sovereign Indigenous nations and the French colonial government of the 17th and 18th century.

Episode: 2411 Hudson's Bay Company.  Today, fur traders and far-off borders.

Fur Trade is Ending   25 Years ago we bought out 56 bobcat and lynx kittens from the Fur Farm in LeCenter, MN because when I learned cats were being killed for their fur, I thought I could put a stop to that.  (Those kittens were about the size and color that Pearlie is in this photo taken today with Howie)  That led to saving 28 bobcats and lynx the next year, 22 bobcats and lynx the next year and with that the fur farms in America were no longer killing cats for their fur.  Tiger Lilly the Bobcat is the last of those cats.  The following 2 years we were working on emptying the fur farm cages in Canada.  Apollo the Siberian Lynx is the last of those cats.    Just this year scores of clothing designers and retailers around the world have banned fur from their products—including Coach, Burberry, Versace, Chanel, Diane von Furstenberg, Michael Kors, Jimmy Choo, Donna Karan, Armani, Hugo Boss and Gucci, to name just a few. Even major cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles are banning the sale of fur outright.  Indiana and Ohio have yielded to public pressure to scale back bobcat hunting and other states are seeing similar changes coming.   Today I woke up thinking about that and the first email I opened turned out to be PETA talking about ending the fur trade permanently for all animals, especially rabbits.  That was even more coincidental because I'd been laying in bed thinking about how PETA gets a bad rap, even in animal lover circles, because ignorant people believe what the bad guys tell them without doing any research on their own.  That's the same way so many of our supporters used to talk about us, until they learned who we really are, so I was thinking to do a LIVE Facebook cast today talking about that.  It's pouring rain and there is a tornado watch in the area, so this will have to do.    I remember back in the 90s PETA was saying some mean things about us, that weren't true, but it was understandable that they would suspect us of animal abuse because they knew back yard breeders and dealers in big cats were bad news.  They had no way to know that we were different.  When I was alerted that “PETA is here!” I didn't run them off.  I welcomed them.  I figured they would actually like us if they knew us, so I introduced them to the cats, told their rescue stories and more importantly offered to take them anywhere and show them anything they wanted to see.  Suspicion grows in the absence of transparency.  It was my first experience with opening our books and back rooms to outsiders so they could decide for themselves who and what we are.   Over the years we've worked with PETA for better laws to protect the cats.  I know a lot of people who have worked there over the past quarter of a century, and a lot who still do.  They have some truly brave, intelligent and dedicated staff who do the dirty under cover work others fear.  They are some of the most tender hearted souls, but they bear witness to unbearable animal cruelty.  (The kind of things you'd scroll past fast on social sites because you can't stand to see it)  They put themselves in harm's way in order to gather the footage and evidence necessary to bring to justice some of what we consider the worst abusers, like Dade City's Wild Things.  They have some of the best animal lawyers in the industry who use the pathetically inadequate laws we currently have to enforce the endangered species act where the government just chooses to turn a blind eye.     Many times we have worked with PETA, who chose to stay in the background, because of the people who would regurgitate untruths about them in an effort to derail the real objective.  People who abuse animals don't have a story that resonates with the public, so their only defense is to try and discredit those who are bringing them to task.  We've experienced a lot of that ourselves and often we have to work in the background, so that the abusers can't divert the narrative away from their misdeeds.     I can't vouch for every single person who says they are a part of PETA any more than I can vouch for every single person who claims to be our advocate, but the people I've worked with there have been some of the most animal loving people I've known.  I doubt that I'd agree with every statement or policy, but I'm not sure there is any organization that I would.  If you want to learn about them there are real charity evaluators like Guidestar and Charity Navigator https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=4314     Don't be misled by statements and sites like PETA Kills Animals.   http://www.petakillsanimalsscam.com/ states that: “PETAKillsAnimals.com is run by the disingenuously named Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF), a front group that's funded by KFC, Outback Steakhouse, Philip Morris, cattle ranchers, and other enterprises that kill millions of animals every year, not to end suffering but to turn a profit. The CCF's clients fear the impact that PETA has made in educating consumers about cruelty to animals in the meat, circus, and experimentation industries and in changing people's buying habits. That's why the CCF devotes a tremendous amount of time and money to attempting to mislead caring people and divide the animal-protection movement by deliberately mischaracterizing PETA's work.”  I found that by just searching the word PETA.  If you look for the truth, it isn't hard to find.    Like most animal abusers the critics take some element of truth and turn it into a lie that people will believe.  PETA does operate a shelter and they do euthanize animals who can't be adopted, so it makes it easy for people who don't want to think about the alternative to accept that as proof PETA is evil.  “No Kill Shelters” have found that the public will support them over shelters that euthanize because the public wants to believe that every animal can find a happy forever after.  It just isn't true.  The only way no kill shelters can exist is to only take in the most adoptable animals and turn away the rest.  The whole shelter system is broken because our laws don't prevent people from doing the irresponsible things that result in unwanted pets, but that's a mission I hope to pursue once the exotic cat crises is ended.   In some ways, Big Cat Rescue, faces a similar dilemma.  We can only take in the animals we know we can provide lifetime care to because all of our current population depends on us making hard decisions to ensure their survival.  Because of the work to change laws that we, and IFAW, HSUS, ADI, AWI, Born Free, PETA and others have done, we don't see nearly as many big cats in private hands who end up in need of rescue.  The big influx of cats into the collective of sanctuaries comes from all the places that “can't say no” and breeders who never took into consideration what their actions would ultimately mean for the cats in their facilities.     Cat hoarding is no different from big cat hoarding.  It's a life of misery, for the animals and when they are rescued from their daily hell, their long term options elsewhere are dubious, unless they are taken by those who commit to that animal never going hungry, or without water or vet care again.  Good intentions aren't enough.  The rescuer has to have the resources to back up that commitment.  I am always dismayed when someone tells me they've donated to some other sanctuary because they are rescuing big cats, and they want to be part of a rescue, or because they think we are doing well financially and don't need it.     I read the 990s of these places and I know they can't afford to keep those cats long term because they don't have money set aside for that care and they don't want to commit resources to building that pension plan for their animals, because that is a lot harder to do, than doing a rescue.   Most of these places have only enough money in the bank to last a couple months, or maybe a year.  Big Cat Rescue has a pension fund set aside that would carry our cats to the end of their lives.  We'd have to stop all of our advocacy and educational efforts but we could make sure our existing exotic cats never go without care.    I think another way that PETA and Big Cat Rescue are alike is that we really would like to put ourselves out of business.  We make the hard choices, the often unpopular choices, because we believe we can actually end the suffering.  Neither of us gets much, if any support, from other non profits who claim to have the same objective, because those organizations would cease to exist if the problems truly were ended.  They would lose their status, jobs, and sense of self if there were no more animals in need of rescue.  They would never admit that; not even to themselves, but if it weren't true they'd be taking the hard stand beside us to end the abuse at its root.     Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. famously said, “It may be true that the law cannot change the heart, but it can restrain the heartless.”  The work to end the cub handling and private possession of big cats is the hard, non sexy work that people want to avoid because they “don't like politics” but it is crucial to ending the abuse of big cats in captivity and saving them in the wild.  In the next five years the tiger could disappear in the wild due to poaching.  That poaching is increased by the demand for tiger parts that is caused by tiger farming because people want the wild tiger.  China, Thailand and other African and Asian countries are growing their tiger and lion farms.  When the U.S. tries to combat this farming they point at the U.S. and say, “At least we know where all of our tigers are.  You don't.”  Anti-poaching is made hard to enforce when it's legal for people to possess tigers because you can't tell wild tiger parts from captive bred tiger parts.  Ending cub handling and private possession are the first and most necessary steps to saving tigers in the wild.   The next time you want to make a difference I'd encourage you to look beyond the surface and find out if you are only making a temporary difference for one or two animals, or are you making a lasting difference that will save them all and ensure a future that includes wild cats living free.    Hi, I'm Carole Baskin and I've been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  These are my views and opinions.

We are back with four more random facts. First, David brings us a hat fact about types of fur while Chris gets distracted by Stranger Things. Second, we go back to cryptids and the legend of Mothman in West Virginia. In the second half we start with how the Normandy region of France got its name and finally two French pilots that attempted to cross the Atlantic Ocean before Charles Lindbergh. Enjoy! 

Have you ever come face to face with the majestic beaver? Have you ever thought about just how impactful the little dam-builders are to the ecosystems they inhabit? This week, Sara Chitsaz, Hannah Cunningham, and Dylan Hall (a Terra Informa alum!) discuss Glynnis Hood's book The Beaver Manifesto, as well as our general thoughts about the popular, and sometimes not-so-popular, rodent. At the end of the episode, Sara also gives us a run-down on what beavers have been up to in the Alaskan tundra.

The culture of the fur trade is changing. Britain is picking up the shambles of French Minnesota. The Dakota and the Ojibwe are trying to reckon with this changing climate while staving off illness and the new British social caste. Meanwhile, to the east, rebellious Yankees throw a wrench into the machinations of the fur trade by declaring independence from Britain. Monopolies, river rendezvous, and more excite this chapter of Minnesota history. Sam Temple and Logan Ledman discuss and explain Chapter Three of North Country, by Mary Lethert Wingerd.

It is well known that Indians fought in the Civil War and that several Indian wars occurred at the same time as crisis of the union, but that is not the focus of this talk. “The Civil War as an Indian War” will be an illustrated lecture exploring how the experience of American Settler Colonialism shaped the American way of war in general and the Civil War in particular. Understanding the tactics of settler-Indian conflicts helps explain the origins of the “hard war” program instituted to defeat the Confederacy. Theodore Karamanski (Loyola University Chicago, Ph.D., 1979; B.A., 1975) is a Professor of History and Public History Director at Loyola University Chicago where he teaches courses in American Indian history, the Civil War, and public history. Karamanski has been a leading and national voice in the promotion of American and public history for more than three decades. He was the founder and later director of Loyola's Public History Program (1981-1990, 2006-current), the first such program in the Midwest and later the first to offer the Ph.D. in public history. A founding director of the National Council on Public History (NCPH), Karamanski was later elected president of the body for the 1989-1990 term, and named Graduate Faculty Member of the Year at Loyola (1993-94) and Faculty Member of the Year at Loyola (2001-2002). Karamanski has been a prolific author in the fields of American Indian, Great Lakes, Civil War, and nineteenth-century American history. He has written and edited numerous books, including: Civil War Chicago: Eyewitness to History with Eileen M. McMahon (Ohio University Press, 2014), which was chosen as the best book on Illinois history for 2015 by the Illinois State Historical Society; Blackbird's Song: Andrew J. Blackbird and the Odawa People (2012); Fur Trade and Exploration: The Opening of the Far Northwest, 1821-1852 (1983); Rally ‘Round the Flag: Chicago and the Civil War (Nelson Hall, 1991), which was winner the Illinois State Historical Society's “Special Achievement Award" (1992). He has written more than 30 articles in a variety of journals.

In this episode, Kiegan Irish and Alex Boos revisit and contemplate historical moments and trajectories that trace out certain facets of the encounter between Europeans and Indigenous peoples on Turtle Island. Taking a dual historical approach that blends Linda Tuhiwai Smith's decolonial methodology of Indigenizing discourse with a historical materialist analysis borrowed from Marxism, we consider some of the effects of the colonial dynamics of the European-Indigenous fur trade on both Indigenous and European societies and examine the structure and evolution of specific French trading companies to pinpoint their roles both as vanguards of European economic trading practices and as founding components to the Canadian settler colonial state. These accounts are followed by a look at the Treaty of Niagara and the Royal Proclamation of 1763, two significant historical events and documents that, had their principles been respected, could have changed the course of history in Indigenous-settler political relations.

In this episode, Eric mostly rambles on about this mostly undocumented period in early New Netherland history and the fur trade. Troubles with the French, kidnappings, boat fires, Pilgrims and shifty dealing all around, this is the Wild West of period of the East Coast. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/osoa/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/osoa/support
