THE HBC BRIGADES: CULTURE, CONFLICT, AND THE PERILOUS JOURNEYS OF THE FUR TRADE, will be published by Ronsdale Press in May 2024.
A measles infestation that began at Sutters Fort, on the Sacramento River, reached #WallaWalla before spreading its way through all the other tribes in the territory -- all the way up to Fort Alexandria #Quesnel. Then it hit Fort #Victoria and travelled up the northwest coast -- all the way to the Yukon, in fact. #FurTrade #History #WAHistory https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/measles-1847/ -
The archival description of this photo is frustratingly vague - I have never been able to identify the individual pictured. He is #Innu from #Mashteuiatsh and I suspect he is feeding the #beaver in connection with the #Péribonka Beaver Sanctuary, ca. 1941-1957. #histodons #history #histoire #Québec #Canada #histqc #cdnhist #FurTrade #EnvHist

#Métis Looking to reconnect - Heard a family rumour, but aren’t sure where to start? Willing to do the work?
Visit the Hudson’s Bay Archives online to find family names/locations/employee records, etc. to help get started on your journey: https://www.gov.mb.ca/chc/archives/hbca/
Plan for at least 5 years of research, lots of dead-ends, and a couple of miracles. Expect a lifetime of learning, (re)connecting, hard work, paradigm shifts, returning to the land and community. #genealogy #Michif #FurTrade #Indigenous
