And how exactly would a hunting party been treated by the local tribes if caught on "their lands" back in the day?
I'm familiar with some of the history up here. Please tell me why anyone in their right mind would choose to live on the Canadian Shield such as the Dogribs did and not in the hunting mecca of the South Slave? Why would the Inuit choose to live in the high arctic as opposed to below the the treeline?
If you like I can give you some pretty graphic examples of what happened when lines were crossed.
