<br>
THE 8TH NORTH AMERICAN FUR TRADE CONFERENCE<br>
<br>
MAY 24-28, 2000<br>
<br>
Hosted by:<br>
<br>
THE MOHAWK COUNCIL OF AKWESASNE<br>
in partnership with the<br>
MOHAWK NATION COUNCIL OF CHIEFS<br>
<br>
The 8th North American Fur Trade Conference<br>
<br>
This prestigious Conference is a forum for the presentation of new
thought <br>
and research on the Fur Trade in North America. The Conference is
convened <br>
about every 5 years, at different locations that give rise to different
<br>
facets of the trade. The Conference theme set for May 24-28, 2000 will be
<br>
"Aboriginal People in the Fur Trade."<br>
<br>
The first of these Conferences was organized by the late Robert Wheeler
whose <br>
interest in the history of the Fur Trade caused him to seek out like
minds. <br>
In 1965, the Minnesota Historical Society of which Mr. Wheeler was a
member, <br>
hosted the first gathering, welcoming scholars and history buffs
alike.<br>
<br>
In acknowledgement of the scope of the Trade, Conferences have alternated
<br>
between Canada and the United States at relevant locations, thus
promoting <br>
the geographical aspect of this segment of North American heritage.
Following <br>
the death of Mr. Wheeler in 1986, Victoria M. Stewart was appointed by a
<br>
special committee of Conference patrons to take charge of future
Conferences <br>
and to ensure that they continue in the spirit in which they began.<br>
<br>
This year, Akwesasne has been selected as the location of the 8th North
<br>
American Fur Trade Conference. Aboriginal Peoples across North America
and <br>
most assuredly, the Mohawks and other members of the
Haudenosaunee/Iroquois <br>
Confederacy played a significant role in all aspects of the Fur Trade and
in <br>
the formation of Canada and the United States. We believe that it is
<br>
appropriate that we ensure that the new millenium offer new light on the
<br>
contribution of Aboriginal Peoples to the history of North America and
the <br>
Fur Trade and its continuing influences.<br>
<br>
Registration Fee for the entire conference is $250.00 including meals.
The <br>
Banquet is extra at $50.00 a plate. Tickets will be sold at the
registration <br>
desk.<br>
