A Native Confederation, Some Furs
The country we have reached is not the Saguenay of legend, but it is a country worth knowing. The Innu have a loose confederation of villages along the upper river and the lakes beyond, with hunting rights extending into the boreal forest as far as the column can see. They trade in fur, dried fish, birch-bark canoes, and a small quantity of native copper from sources further north. They are willing to receive a French embassy. There is no gold, no silver, and no fair-skinned king. There is a working fur economy. Target Leader orders a trading post built at the confluence.

historical_info = seven_cities_saguenay.2.historical_info The Saint Lawrence and Saguenay watersheds were the entry points for the French fur trade that, over the course of the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, drew traders, missionaries, and colonists deep into the interior of North America. The trade ran on indigenous middlemen, primarily the Huron-Wendat and the Algonquin, and on a network of trading posts that gradually extended west across the Great Lakes and into the Mississippi watershed. The legend of Saguenay was, in this sense, a self-fulfilling prophecy: the country of legend was not gold but fur, and the French eventually got rich from the trade.
