This is an individual that did not have any permanent place of residence, he roamed across the country, travelled and discovered many regions, rivers and lakes of Canada and the U.S.  He lived by hunting and trading trinkets, like glass beads and pieces of mirrors against fur pelts, with the Indians and selling these to the Hudson Bay Company.  I would compare him to the Canadian version of Davy Crocket.

Additional Information: The Hudson Bay Company was, by royal decree and for several decades the sole Company permitted to purchase and export fur pelts. This is the oldest company in existence in Canada.  Its still active and operate several stores (The Baie and La Baie) across Canada. They are known around the world, specially by tourists, for their wool blanket. The pattern on their blankets has not changed since the early times of the colony.
