As an integral part of the Canadian fur trade, voyageurs transported furs by canoe from indigenous villages and trading posts to larger metropolitan areas. Once there, the furs were sold by large corporations, such as the Hudson's Bay Company and the North West Company. The job required strong navigational skills and an understanding of Aboriginal languages, as voyageurs often had close relationships with the local indigenous populations that they encountered. They ate significant amounts of pemmican, a dried meat product that was easily transportable and did not expire during long peri- ods of travel. This fuel gave them the energy to travel more than 100 kilometres per day by canoe. They also used portages, or inland trails, to cross the distancesVoyageurs between rivers or lakes. After a brief rest each night, they would then wake before sunrise to repeat this rigorous routine. Due to the physical stress of the job, voyageurs occasionally suffered broken limbs or hernias while working. Many of the frequented routes led to Montreal, which was a major hub for trading. The journey to Montreal involved travelling through the Ottawa or St. Lawrence Rivers to reach the Great Lakes, mainly Lake Huron. Thus, the Windsor-Essex area, with access to the port of Detroit, was significant to the growth and success of the fur trade by way of the Detroit River. Windsor relied on the fur trade to support its economy in the 17th and 18th centuries. Voyageurs were known to stop in the area before continuing on their journey north. René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle was a French explorer during the mid-seventeenth century. He belonged to the Jesuit order, taking his vows in 1660. However, he lost his vocation and turned his interests instead to trade and exploration. He travelled to New France, arriving there in 1667. His goal was to find the Pacific Ocean through the Ohio River. He and his party of religious officials, who had an interest in converting the indigenous populations of the area, relied heavily upon Aboriginal tribes in order to navigate the unknown territory of the Great Lakes region. He was influential in establishing Fort Frontenac, located in what is now Kingston, Ontario. René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle also helped to develop the French fur trade in North America. He strengthened industry in the Great Lakes region through a shipbuilding operation near the Niagara River. This shipyard produced the Griffon. LaSalle used this ship to venture through the Great Lakes, particularly Lake Michigan. During this venture, he created Fort Miami on the Miami River. He later travelled to the Mississippi River Delta in order to claim the lands of Louisiana for King Louis XIV of France and extend French lands to the borders of New Spain. His trip was fraught with disease and starvation. Many of his crew members deserted him, and one of his ships was destroyed. He landed in Matagorda Bay (present-day Texas) and died in 1687 when the remaining members of his crew revolted and murdered him. FIRST NATIONS: OTTAWA, OJIBWE, POTAWATOMI AND THE HURON/WYANDOT The Great Lakes region was the traditional land of many indigenous tribes, including the Ottawa, Ojibwe, Potawatomi, and the Wyandot. The Wendat tribe was believed to have migrated to Southern Ontario and Michigan in the early eighteenth century, and it was then that the migrants changed their name to the Wyandot. The early Aboriginal groups of the area lived a hunter-gatherer lifestyle, relying on the local population of animals and fish for food and clothing. This included beaver, deer, and other fur pelts, which were used both by the indigenous populations themselves and as a trading commodity with European settlers. Women in these tribes, particularly the Ojibwe, were often heavily involved in healing, spiritual practices, and tribal governance. In later years, the indigenous populations in Southern Ontario and Michigan had close personal and commercial ties with the French colonists that populated the area on both sides of the Detroit River, and they commuted across the river regularly. However, the colonial settlers greatly influenced the lifestyles of the indigenous populations in the Great Lakes region. Upon later British expansion, Aboriginal lands were put under land treaties. In most cases, these treaties meant that the amount of land on which the indigenous populations may live and hunt was greatly diminished. The majority of southern Ontario became covered under the McKee Purchase of 1790 or Treaty 35 of 1833.

Ram, Wayne State University n the morning of July 24, 1915, hundreds of employees of the West- Oern Electric Company and their families boarded the passenger steamship Eastland for a day trip to Michigan City, Indiana. Built in 1903, this twin screw, steel hulled steamship was considered a fast boat on her regular run. Yet throughout her service life, her design revealed a series of problems with stability. Additionally, changes such as more lifeboats in the aftermath of the Titanic disaster, repositioning of engines, and alterations to her upper cabins, made these built-in issues far worse. These failings would come to a disastrous head at the dock on the Chicago River. With over 2,500 passengers aboard, the ship heeled back and forth as the chief engineer struggled to control the ship’s stability and failed. At 7:30 a.m., the Eastland heeled to port, coming to rest on the river bottom, trapping pas- sengers inside the hull and throwing many more into the river.

  • A New Look at the Himalayan Fur Trade
    ORYX VOL 27 NO 4 OCTOBER 1993 A new look at the Himalayan fur trade Joel T. Heinen and Blair Leisure In late December 1991 and January 1992 the authors surveyed tourist shops sell- ing fur and other animal products in Kathmandu, Nepal. Comparing the results with a study conducted 3 years earlier showed that the number of shops had in- creased, but indirect evidence suggested that the demand for their products may have decreased. There was still substantial trade in furs, most of which appeared to have come from India, including furs from species that are protected in India and Nepal. While both Nepali and Indian conservation legislation are adequate to con- trol the illegal wildlife trade, there are problems in implementation: co-ordination between the two countries, as well as greater law enforcement within each country, are needed.

  • The Fur Trade of the Western Great Lakes Region
    THE FUR TRADE OF THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES REGION IN 1685 THE BARON DE LAHONTAN wrote that ^^ Canada subsists only upon the Trade of Skins or Furrs, three fourths of which come from the People that live round the great Lakes." ^ Long before tbe little French colony on tbe St. Lawrence outgrew Its swaddling clothes the savage tribes­ men came in their canoes, bringing with them the wealth of the western forests. In the Ohio Valley the British fur trade rested upon the efficacy of the pack horse; by the use of canoes on the lakes and river systems of the West, the red men delivered to New France furs from a country unknown to the French. At first the furs were brought to Quebec; then Montreal was founded, and each summer a great fair was held there by order of the king over the water. Great flotillas of western Indians arrived to trade with the Europeans. A similar fair was held at Three Rivers for the northern Algonquian tribes. The inhabitants of Canada constantly were forming new settlements on the river above Montreal, says Parkman, ... in order to intercept the Indians on their way down, drench them with brandy, and get their furs from them at low rates in ad­ vance of the fair. Such settlements were forbidden, but not pre­ vented. The audacious " squatter" defied edict and ordinance and the fury of drunken savages, and boldly planted himself in the path of the descending trade. Nor is this a matter of surprise; for he was usually the secret agent of some high colonial officer.^ Upon arrival in Montreal, all furs were sold to the com­ pany or group of men holding the monopoly of the fur trade from the king of France.

Their fur traders were bringing rich catches down the Mississippi River, and that hadn’t stopped with the war. 1 Because the fur trade was so good for the traders coming down the Missouri River into the Mississippi River, the traders decided to open a new trading post farther north, near the place where the Missouri River flows into the Mississippi.

  • The Fur Trade Era, 1770S–1849
    Great Bear Rainforest The Fur Trade Era, 1770s–1849 The Fur Trade Era, 1770s–1849 The lives of First Nations people were irrevocably changed from the time the first European visitors came to their shores. The arrival of Captain Cook heralded the era of the fur trade and the first wave of newcomers into the future British Columbia who came from two directions in search of lucrative pelts. First came the sailors by ship across the Pacific Ocean in pursuit of sea otter, then soon after came the fort builders who crossed the continent from the east by canoe. These traders initiated an intense period of interaction between First Nations and European newcomers, lasting from the 1780s to the formation of the colony of Vancouver Island in 1849, when the business of trade was the main concern of both parties. During this era, the newcomers depended on First Nations communities not only for furs, but also for services such as guiding, carrying mail, and most importantly, supplying much of the food they required for daily survival. First Nations communities incorporated the newcomers into the fabric of their lives, utilizing the new trade goods in ways which enhanced their societies, such as using iron to replace stone axes and guns to augment the bow and arrow. These enhancements, however, came at a terrible cost, for while the fur traders brought iron and guns, they also brought unknown diseases which resulted in massive depopulation of First Nations communities. European Expansion The northwest region of North America was one of the last areas of the globe to feel the advance of European colonialism.

  • The Reality of Commercial Rabbit Farming in Europe
    The reality of commercial rabbit farming in Europe Coalition to abolish the fur trade www.caft.org.uk www.rabbitfur.info mail:[email protected] he rabbit fur trade is the fastest growing section of the industry, yet little is publicly Tknown about it. Many myths have been perpetuated about this industry, thus allowing the fur trade to increase the popularity of rabbit fur. Because of this, the Coalition to abolish the Fur Trade (CAFT) planned an investigation to conduct research into the industry and obtain video and photographic evidence. CAFT investigators travelled to four European countries – Denmark, Spain, Italy and France – to investigate all aspects of the trade. It was vital to look into the rabbit farming industry as a whole: Italy including farms which breed rabbits specifically for the fur During the 1970s, the rabbit farming industry in Italy was very trade, farms for rabbit meat production, slaughterhouses, much a cottage industry. Due to the demand for rabbit meat, dressing companies, and companies which explore the genetic the industry grew steadily to reach almost twice its size in breeding of rabbits for both fur and meat. 2003 (222,000 TEC); Italy consumes most of the meat it produces and imports are low.

  • The Russian Fur Trade and Industry
    Julia Gibson Russia and the Environment Professors McKinney and Welsh Final Paper May 9th 2006 The Russian Fur Trade and Industry People have utilized the skin and fur of animals to keep warm since the prehistoric era of human history. As human beings left the equatorial regions where Homo sapiens evolved, the severity of colder climates forced them to protect their uncovered bodies with the pelts of regional animals that were better adapted to the harsh environment. The exploitation of pelts probably arose as a result of the invention of simple tools, which enabled people to separate the meat for cooking and the fur for wearing. As human civilization advanced, those human societies dependant on fur for warmth also began to utilize animal fur and skin as a luxury item. Communities like the ancient state of Rus flourished and grew in importance in cross continental trade due to the natural abundance of fur-bearing animals in their territories. Despite the growing environmental damage and the suffering of animals harvested for fur, the fur trade and industry gained increasing importance over the centuries. Throughout the history of Russia (including the Soviet Union), the fur trade has enabled the Russian state to pursue the doctrine of Moscow as the third Rome and bolster their economy, while simultaneously and systematically distancing the Russian people from the environment and severing their connection with the natural world. Even before the fur trade became a crucial component of the Russian economy, the practice of exchanging furs played an integral part in traditional Russian culture. The 1 use of pelts in ancient Shamanistic rituals established fur as a semi-spiritual commodity.

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Jennifer E. Jameson for the degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies in Anthropology , Design and Human Environment , and Anthropology presented on December 5, 2007 . Title: Iroquois of the Pacific Northwest Fur Trade: Their Archaeology and History Abstract approved: ___________________________ David R. Brauner During the early 19 th Century, the fur trade brought many Iroquois to the Pacific Northwest as working primarily as voyageurs for the North West Company. When the North West Company merged with the Hudson’s Bay Company, the Iroquois employees merged as well. After retirement, some settled in the Willamette Valley and surrounding areas. These Iroquois have been an underrepresented group in the Pacific Northwest history. When archaeological investigations are completed, the Iroquois are overlooked as possible occupants. The purpose of this research is to reconstruct the history of the Iroquois and to create an archaeological description of what their material culture might look like in the Pacific Northwest. Theories involving ethnicity in archaeology, along with documentary evidence and archaeological data, were used to complete body of knowledge that brings the Pacific Northwest Iroquois story to light, and create a catalog of the ethnic markers for archaeologists to look for. ©Copyright by Jennifer E.

  • ABSTRACT Nadine Kopp. the Influence of the War of 1812 on Great
    ABSTRACT Nadine Kopp. The Influence of the War of 1812 on Great Lakes Shipbuilding. (Under the Direction of Dr. Bradley Rodgers) Department of History, January 2012. The purpose of this thesis is to determine whether the War of 1812 influenced ship construction techniques on the Great Lakes. During the War of 1812, much of the fighting in the North American theater of war primarily took place along the Niagara frontier and later along the St. Lawrence River. From the outset, both the Americans and British realized that gaining the upper hand in the conflict depended upon control of the Great Lakes. Critical to achieving the advantage was the development of a significant and powerful inland navy, which led to a shipbuilding race on both shores. The primary question raised surrounding Great Lakes ship construction in the early nineteenth century is whether or not this large scale event, the War of 1812, permanently influenced the way in which ships were constructed once the war was over. To answer this question, this study examines diagnostic attributes of archaeologically examined wrecks from the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain from before, during and after the War of 1812 to find similarities and difference in their design and construction The three time periods have been defined as the period before the War of 1812, from the French and Indian War (1754 to 1763), when British sailing ships first appeared on the Great Lakes, up to 1811; the period of the War of 1812 itself (1812-1814); and the period after the war leading up to the opening of the Welland Canal (1829) and the widespread use of steam engines on the Great Lakes (1830s-1840s).
