Iron items made everything easier, from hunting to warfare, metal was very valuable in a land that produced nothing but soft copper.

They also got a bit of a reprieve from the European onslaught.

The HBC had a simple business model for the massive lands they were given. They would set up forts and trading posts on the coasts and have Aboriginals and other traders come to them to trade. This model allowed Aboriginals a significant level of self government as the HBC was only interested in getting furs and other goods from them. The HBC even had policies that required trading forts to carry enough food to see everybody in the area through starvation events all too common with hunter gathers. It was a simple and profitable model.

But it was not long before traders, many of them French, started to attack the HBC monopoly by trading inland using any method that resulted in lots of furs and all too often as a bonus no exchange of anything in trade other than some alcohol or a bullet. The HBC had many rules about trading alcohol, but those operating outside the HBC faced no such limitations or enforcement. Anything went and we know it did. Eventually the Northwest Company was set up and trading practices improved and provided real competition for HBC.

This resulted in HBC having to move inland and between them and other traders they brought the world giving Aboriginals everything the world had to offer both the good and all the bad.

Today the term Metis refer to all those of European and Aboriginal mixed blood but when Canada purchased Ruperts Land, complete with people, Metis referred to French and Aboriginal mixed bloods. Most mixed bloods in Ruperts Land were Scottish Aboriginal or British Aboriginal and that is still the case for Western Canada. This answer will refer to all those of European Aboriginal mixed blood as Metis.

They responded as anyone would if they had found themselves being sold to a new country without being consulted. First with questions, then with action which included creating their own government to talk to Canada with. Canada would not accept any such governments in their colonies and responded violently. The Metis and other met violence with violence but were out numbered and out gunned.

Approximately 700,000 people in Canada have their race status of Aboriginal registered with the Canadian government. Only those with such a registration, or treaty number, have proven their racial purity to government standards.

That means that there are 700,000/35,000,000 = 0.02 x 100 = 2%, approximately 2% of Canadians are registered First Nations.

But for various reasons many more than that claim aboriginal ancestry, at least another 700,000, so the number could be as high as 4% maybe even 5%.

Hudson Bay Company is important to Canada because they sold much of what is today Canada, to Canada.
