Wir springen in dieser Woche nach Nordamerika. Wir sprechen über den Pelzhandel des 18. und 19. Jahrhunderts, der lange Zeit von zwei großen Handelsunternehmen dominiert wurde. Den Treibstoff für die Expansion lieferte allerdings eine ganze bestimmte Speise: Pemmikan. Wir sprechen in dieser Folge darüber, was Pemmikan ist, woher es kam und weshalb es schließlich auch Auslöser für etwas war, das heute als der Pemmikan-Krieg bekannt ist.
