Red River Carts Stereoview $100.00
The caption reads: Red River Carts. Indians and
Half Breeds on trading expedition. Carts
constructed wholly of wood.
In the early 1800s, the Metis people, descendents
of early white fur traders and native Cree or
Ojibwe women, used these two-wheeled, all-wood
vehicles to carry home meat and pemmican from
their bi-annual buffalo hunts in eastern North
Dakota.
