Synopsis
Trace the discovery of copper in the Arctic and the people who shaped a vast network of Indigenous trade and exploration.
This history follows the Coppermine country from the first reports of native copper to the early journeys of explorers and traders. It combines geographical description with the stories of Indigenous communities, Hudson’s Bay Company efforts, and the push to map a possible Northwest Passage.
Readers will see how copper ore moved from river shores to ships, how early observers interpreted the landscape, and how curiosity about wealth and routes drove the years of Arctic exploration. The narrative blends exciting travel lore with the practical challenges of life on the barrens and the coast.
