Inuit used to trap with rocks (like a den or something) before the Hudson Bay Company arrived to the Far North.Than the Hudson Bay Company came,they started using the # 1 1/2 long spring Victor traps.My grandfather started trapping when the Qablunaat (White People)Picked them up to live in Baker Lake in the late 1960's,to live with a bunch of people.and to trade there pelts with supplies.Like Guns,Sugar,Flour,tea etc.I started trapping in 2008,because I wanted to be like my 2 grandfathers.Not many people trap arctic foxes anymore.
