North West Company

Fast forward to 1789 at 14, I moved to Montreal for additional schooling, where Uncle John was active in the fur trade. Then in 1792, I was apprenticed to the fur-trading North West Company.

Company coat of arms.

In 1801 I was elected one of the company's youngest partners. Then an opportunity came...

In 1805, I was selected to expand the company's operations beyond the Rockies. I got to explore, and it was all funded by the company!

That is when I founded the first European settlements in central British Columbia, establishing Fort McLeod in 1805.

Fort St James

and Fort Fraser in 1806

and Fort George (present Prince George) in 1807

Look!! A bridge named after ME.

I called this area New Caledonia, as it reminded me of my mother’s descriptions of the Scottish Highlands.

On Tonight's S2Ep8, Jacob learns a few words in Michif, the endangered language of the Métis people. Rooted in Cree, Dene and French, Michif is also a distinct language all of its own. An estimated 5-10% of the Métis population speak Michif, mostly elders, and these numbers are dwindling. + In an exclusive video, Jen learns how to make a Métis Capote.

"Indians" in the Fur Trade

“Indians” in the Fur Trade

In my last three posts I considered the fur trade in the northern half of North America. I suggested that indigenous peoples traded fur (beaver as well as otter, mink, fox, muskrat, lynx and many others) for manufactured European tools, the most important being axes, hatchets, kettles, knives and guns. The trade began we don’t know quite when but possibly as early as the early 15th Century…
