I think you've covered this, Sara. :-)
The two great occupations were eating and drinking because with all of the snow, there wasn't much else to do in the winter -- just eat and drink.
Describe what life was like at a HBC post--why was it said that the two great occupations were 'eating and drinking!' Why were great ceremonies associated with trading sessions in the summer?
Life at a HBC post was dull and boring. It was filled with routine chores. it was said that the two great occupations were 'eating and drinking!' because they really were, in the winter. Great ceremonies were associated with trading sessions in the summer to show off the customs and traditions.
If you have anything else to add to this, then please do so, that'll be very appreciating, thanks in advance. I don't really know why it was said that the two great occupations were 'eating and drinking!
