Eating Ethnicity: Examining 18th Century French Colonial Identity Through Selective Consumption of Animal Resources in the North American Interior (2004)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Rory Becker.

Cultural identities can be created and maintained through daily practice and food consumption is one such practice. People need food in order to survive, but the types of food they eat are largely determined by the interaction of culture and their environment. By approaching the topic of subsistence practices as being culturally constituted, the study of foodways provides an avenue to examine issues of cultural identity through selective consumption. Eating certain foods to the exclusion of...

The Eighteenth-century Fur Trade: A Colonial Endeavor? (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Amelie Allard.

The late eighteenth-century fur trade in the Western Great Lakes region offers a particular multi-ethnic context in which social relations between Indigenous peoples and men of European or mixed descent were created and negotiated on a daily basis. With his seminal book “The Middle Ground,” Richard White (1991) challenged prior views, often of a Marxist bend, of the fur trade as a strictly colonial endeavor that led to the inevitable acculturation of Native peoples. While the Montreal merchants...

An Examination of Gunflints From the Fort St. Joseph Site (20BE23) in Niles, Michigan (2011)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Cezar Carvalhaes.

French colonial North America was settled in order to expand the fur trade and also secure the North American interior from British incursions. During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, France had come to occupy huge swathes of land in North America, establishing a trading empire from Newfoundland to the Rocky Mountains, and from Hudson Bay southward along the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. As the fur trade expanded, the Great Lakes region proved vital to France’s interests, and near...

DOCUMENT Full-Text Elizabeth Ann Sylak.

First circulated by French traders and Jesuit missionaries on their visits to New France in the 17th and 18th centuries, copper-alloy finger rings bearing Jesuit and secular iconography are found wherever French traders or colonists ventured.

The fort allowed the French to gain better control of southern Michigan and easier access to the Mississippi River and...

Examining Mandan and Arikara Agricultural Production at Fort Clark in the Fur Trade Era (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Adam S. Wiewel.

The Mandan/Arikara earthlodge village adjacent to the American Fur Company’s Fort Clark in North Dakota is well-documented, appearing in the accounts and depictions of Catlin, Maximilian, and Bodmer, among others.

Historical documents suggest the Mandans and Arikaras traded crucial resources, namely maize, to...

Feeding the Crew: Foodways and Faunal Remains at Reaume’s Trading Post Site, Central Minnesota (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Amelie Allard.

At Reaume’s Trading Post - a late 18th-century fur trade winter camp located in Central Minnesota – the acquisition of food and the trade for pelts left a varied assemblage of faunal remains on the site. The results from the faunal analysis suggest a deep entanglement of ways and peoples in a context where members of fur trade society shared, contested and interacted around a common need: food. What kinds of meat products were consumed or sought after by the traders, voyageurs, trappers and...
