As it was properly expressed, the fur trade was being referred to the history of the early Canadian west. This trade dominated the force for shaping the history of Canadian`s four western provinces for several time. This helped in the formation of western Canada to frontier society that appeared to be unique in the realm of interracial contact. The history for Canada for a long time was characterized by relatively less violent between white and the Indians citizens.[Keith, Cole The aborigines of Victoria, New York: Keith Cole publications, 1982] The little violent that were experienced between the whites and the Indians were as a result of the following reasons.
