Although detailed accounts of the fur-trade era have appeared, until recently the rich social history has been ignored. In this book, the fur trade is examined not simply as an economic activity but as a social and cultural complex that was to survive for nearly two centuries.The author traces the development of a mutual dependency between Indian and European traders at the economic level that evolved into a significant cultural exchange as well. Marriages of fur traders to Indian women created bonds that helped advance trade relations. As a result of these \"many tender ties,\" there emerged a unique society derived from both Indian and European culture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68081722163488,"sku":"NEW0806118474","price":25.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51biBEAhTAL.jpg?v=1793529574","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/en-ca\/products\/many-tender-ties-0806118474","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
