The French were able to explore vast amounts of territory in North American by adopting First Nation technology, most notably, the canoe. That is how we Quebecois entered the St. Laurence and came out the Gulf of Mexico.
My great-grandfather was a Acadian voyager who married a Mi'kmaq woman, so my canoe interests lay with one of the greatest Native canoe building cultures that ever existed, the Mi'kmaqs.

This book is very interesting. The Jesuits were the largest land owners in New France. They were amazing linguists, organizationally.

The piece on The Revenant was spot on. I was offended by the way the French were portrayed. I tried to make my case at the office but nobody cared. I did like the movie and I'm a big fan of Leo's.

STEP BACK IN TIME TO THE FUR TRADE ERA
MONROE, Michigan.— Superintendent Scott J. Bentley announced today that River Raisin National Battlefield Park, welcomes you to a National Park Service Centennial Event: “Step Back in Time to the Fur Trade” on Saturday, April 2, 2016 from 2:00-3:30 p.m.
Join Norbert DeWilde to learn all about the fur trade. Have fun exploring furs in this hands-on fun filled educational activity. For ages 6-12 years, the event is free, but please RSVP to reserve a spot today by calling the battlefield at 734-243-7136.
River Raisin National Battlefield Park preserves, commemorates, and interprets the January 1813 battles of the War of 1812 and their aftermath in Monroe and Wayne counties in Southeast Michigan. The Battles of the River Raisin resulted in the greatest victory for Tecumseh’s Confederation and the greatest defeat for the United States during the War of 1812. Although American forces were victorious in the first battle, the second ended in what was described as a “national calamity” by then General William Henry Harrison, and later President of the United States. The battle cry, "Remember the Raisin!" inspired a massive U.S. victory at the Battle of the Thames, which sealed the War of 1812 in the western theater for the U.S., claimed the life of the great Shawnee leader, Tecumseh, and resulted in the end of the American Indian Confederation. The aftermath of the Battles resulted in the implementation of Indian removal from the Northwest Territory at the conclusion of the War of 1812, an aftermath that continues to influence the United States today.
