Adventures in the Fur Trade
The term Fur Trade is inherently Eurocentric as it only refers to what Europeans were trading for and what Europeans needed. In the 1600s and 1700s, Europeans traded cloth, rum, and weapons for furs which they sent back to Europe to make hats and other clothing. Looking at this from a Native American perspective, trade was varied vital to survival.
The Fur Trade was an important part of United States history and is crucial to understanding European/Native American relations in Early America. By teaching it as the Fur Trade and neglecting the Native American perspective, we remain entrenched in denying Native American presence and autonomy in our history.

Final Project: A Sketch of The City of Albany, 1850 to 1940
The title of this project is to show that this is to highlight some features that Census records show about the citizens of Albany, yet it is not a complete picture. There is a 30 year gap between 1850 and 1880 and a 20 year gap between 1880 and 1900 resulting from a lack of Census records.
