Item Number: WSP-103
Item Name: The Red River Cart
Description: The Red River cart was a large two-wheeled cart made entirely of
non-metallic materials. These carts were often drawn by oxen, although
also by horses or mules. The carts were used throughout most of the
nineteenth century in the fur trade and in westward expansion in Canada
and the United States, in the area of the Red river and on the plains
west of the Red River Colony.
The cart was a simple conveyance developed by the Metis for use in
their settlement on the Red River in what later became Manitoba. With
these carts, the Metis were not restricted to river travel to hunt
bison.
The Red River cart was largely responsible for commercializing the buffalo hunt.
