What is the evidence of fur trade?

The oldest evidence would be trade between aboriginal groups. Furs would have been on the list of items they traded. Then there are Viking settlements on Baffin Island and Newfoundland, dated to around 1000AD. Their sagas record that Baffin Island, or Helluland, had many Arctic Fox which were valuable because of their fur. Furs are often mentioned by the English and French early explorers. The Hudson Bay Company was created in 1670 to exploit Canadian furs, see the Hudson Bay Archives. The Northwest Trading Company was created in the 1700's to buy and sell furs. And the Fur Trade continues today see the Fur Council web site for more evidence.
