At first I thought I'd imagined this. But no, it's real and thanks to YouTube, there's proof.

Back in the 50s, there actually was a TV series called "Hudson's Bay," It took part in the day of the fur trappers and is fairly racist in its depiction of the Indigenous. But that, sadly, was the style back then. 

It ran in syndication in 1959 and only lasted one season. Not a striped blanket in sight. 

After watching, I can see why this series lasted only one season.
