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