The Nishiiyuu way of subsistence living gradually gave way to a reliance on trade, which was increasingly competitive and led to escalating social problems. Seasonal movement was impeded by the necessity of travelling to the posts. And within the hunting groups that formed the basic unit of society, a new kind of leader emerged – one based on trading and communication skills rather than knowledge of the land. The fur trade shaped this country’s history but it also impacted the traditional ways of the Nishiiyuu, who were important partners and contributors to one of Canada’s earliest industries.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"RCM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40398569635979,"sku":"200721","price":2499.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0333\/7460\/1355\/products\/623932105690.jpg?v=1656594879"},{"product_id":"2021-1-voyageur-ag-kilo","title":"2021 $1 The Quintessential Voyageur Dollar - Pure Silver Kilo Coin","description":"\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe quintessential Canadian collector coin has been renewed with unique highly detailed \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eelements on this large and impressive 2021 one kilogram (32.15 ounce) fine silver dollar coin. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHonouring yesterday’s artistry and today’s engraving techniques, this coin pays tribute to both \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ethe Voyageur Dollar and its artist, Emanuel Hahn.
