A Hudson's Bay point blanket is a type of wool blanket traded by the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) in British North America, now Canada and the United States from 1779 to present. The blankets were typically traded to First Nations in exchange for beaver pelts as an important part of the North American fur trade. The blankets continue to be sold by Canada's Hudson's Bay department stores and have come to hold iconic status in the country.

  • En Hudson Bay-filt är en filt av den typ som Hudson Bay-kompaniet sålde till First Nations i Nordamerika under 1700- och 1800-talen. Filten som är av ylle säljs fortfarande av detta företag. Liknande filtar har även sålts av andra företag. Filttypen kallas även point blankets då de vanligen är märkta med färgade linjer insydda i kanten för att utmärka filtens storlek. Då behöver man inte veckla ut filten för att se hur stor den är. Beteckningen point kommer från franskans empointer "stygn". (sv)
