FUR TRAPPER On May 13, 2015 We did a play on a Fur Trapper. It was really fun. It was about Jean Baptiste Point Dusable's trading post. There were these people in a family of 3 with a mom,dad, and son. Pierre Louis (Ahmad)liked to set up traps to catch a muskrat,river otter,or a beaver. If he didn’t catch anything he would go hunt. If he didn’t hunt and get anything he would go
home to Catherine(Maeve)and Renault(Nickolai) and go around the fire to warm up or get covered in cozy blankets. Their house was by Jean Baptiste Point Dusable's trading post. Pierre Louis liked to go over there and trade things for stuff that Catherine wanted to decorate her clothing like beads and ribbon. He also traded for things he needed like snowshoes and barrels. He was happy with his belongings and what he had. Jean Baptiste Point DuSable was a very important person because he made a trading post which made it easier for people to settle in the Chicago area.
