The lowly beaver is an official symbol of the sovereignty of Canada. So the beaver is a potent image of what it means to be Canadian!

Historically, castor canadensis was central to Canada's beginnings. Beavers became the wildlife most wanted in the1600s and early 1700s when fur hats became exceedingly au courant in European fashion. Because North America had a massive beaver population to exploit, soon traders were selling pelts at 20 times their original purchase price from North American aboriginals. This lucrative fur trade was the basis of the North American colonies.
