1500-1603. the British set up stations on shore to dry their catch, but didnt established permanent settlements. Other European ds, including the French came to shore to refresh their water and supplies.

Phase 1 ~How the Groups were involved.

British~ Britain's involvement was mainly becoming friends and accomplishment with the first nations. First nations~ The factor ran the fort on a Dailey basis, based on orders from the Hudson's bay company. French~ for 200 years Wisconsin life was dominated by the beaver. The economy was revolved around beavers in the way that todays revolve around oil, before the French arrived, Wisconsin's most valuable animals were white tailed deer, catfish, wild turkey and freshwater mussels but the beaver was the king. Metis~ during the fur trade, marriage between fur traders and aboriginal women was quite common and was encouraged by the north west company, this lead to the beginning of the whole new people who came to known as metis. The word metis is French, the word means people with mixed blood.

Fur Trade Rival Networks Phase 3

Britain Date:1670-1760
The British established the Hudson Bay Company on May 2nd , 1670. Britains trading posts and settlements were around the Hudson Bay. The British had help from the Metis middlemen. The British had no voyageurs like the French did, but they got more men from Scotlands Orkney Islands. The British discouraged crosscultural marriages but they happened anyways.

France 1670-1760

The French needed a new way to maintain trading with the First Nations of the Great Lakes and further so, they got men to canoe that direction. Those men then became voyageurs. The French also foster cross-cultural marriages, and called the children metis.

The Voyageurs
The voyeurs had a hard time traveling from the Great Lakes and back in the beginning of spring, due to harsh climates. It was also very rough and daring. When their canoes wouldnt take them further, they traveled in bare feet and bare legs, which lead to possible cracked and bleeding feet. They also scraped themselves in the water when they carried the canoes because they couldnt go against the rapids. Even the rocks took some of their skin because they were so cold! When the voyeurs came across something like a waterfall, they carried everything on their shoulders. These items were canoes, stuff to trade with the First Nations, beaver pelts and things they would need to survive. They would stop at a small village called Michilimackinac, where they would equip themselves and continue as soon as possible. These men put their lives in great danger due to the war between France and Haudenosaunee. The Haudenosaunee would sometimes kill the voyeurs.
