Editing Naskapi (section)

===Relocations===
Between 1831 and 1956, the Naskapi were subjected to several major relocations, all of which reflected not their needs nor interests, but those of the [[Hudson's Bay Company]]. The major moves were:
*1842 – Fort Chimo to [[Fort Nascopie]]
*1870 – Fort Nascopie to [[Fort Chimo]]
*1915 – Fort Chimo to [[Fort McKenzie]]
*1948 – Fort McKenzie to [[Fort Chimo]]
*1956 – Fort Chimo to [[Schefferville]]

Numerous cases have been documented in which the [[Hudson's Bay Company]] relocated the Naskapi from post to post purely for its own commercial purposes, and without any concern as to whether the areas where the posts were situated offered the Naskapi the possibility of harvesting the fish and game that they required for food as well as the fur-bearers that the Company sought. In several instances, individual managers, apparently dissatisfied with the Naskapi' seeming lack of commitment to trapping withheld from them the ammunition that they needed to hunt for food, thereby directly causing a considerable number of deaths from starvation.
