Trick Question! The Hudson Bay Fur Company was founded in 1670 by two French men, Pierre Radisson and Medard Chouart. The two tried to gain support by the French government but failed and eventually turned to the British government. They received charter from King George II and then set up headquarters in London.
So in conclusion it was founded by Frenchmen, but was stationed in and funded by the Britain. Pick your poison (preferably British).

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.
