The Hudson's Bay Company was founded in Eastern Canada (1670). For a little over a century it was a fur market in the area.
=================================================================================
1. The Hudson's Bay Company still exists. It is still doing business. In fact, I have a Hudson's Bay Company MasterCard. Until recently, I had a Hudson's Bay Company credit card as well.
2. The Hudson's Bay Company was not "founded" in "Eastern Canada." It was Chartered in England.
3. King Charles II incorporated, by Royal Charter, on May 2, 1670, "The Governor and Company of Adventurers of England trading into Hudson's Bay." The name was eventually shortened to "Hudson's Bay Company."
4. The Hudson's Bay Company was a trading company that established trading posts on the shores of Hudson Bay, and later in Canada's interior. At those trading posts, it traded European manufactured goods to the people of the First Nations. From them in return, the Hudson's Bay Company received animal furs, which were then shipped back to England.

Why did the plains Indians live in semi-permanet homes?
They lived in semi-permanent homes year round in the Prairies because they were a migratory people. Of course, once white settlers came and set up the Hudsons Bay posts all over the place, trade began to occur between Plains Indians and the white settlers, and the Plains Indians began to be reliant on the goods they got from the Hudsons Bay company. Once this happened, they were no longer migratory as they relied on the Hudsons Bay company's goods, and so they stayed where the trading posts were so that they could trade with the Hudsons Bay company.
