Describe the Metis economically, socially and explain how important they were to the fur trade.

The Metis economically were helping the French by hunting bison and selling it to the French. This ended up just feeding the French’s economy. Socially the Metis were all working for the economy, the women and children would move the red river carts to find the bison while the men hunt them. They were very important to the trade by binding the tensions and they could sell the buffalo furs.
