METIS HISTORY Return to METIS 1750-1799 index
1763
Prior to this year, all lands west of the Appalachian Mountains and most of Canada was considered French Territory by reason of possession. The Treaty of Paris this year gave all the lands west of the Mississippi River to Spain. The central part of North America, west of the Mississippi River, is now known by the Spanish as the Viceroyalty of New Spain . The Metis, however, occupied these territories and knew they were Indian Territory, not French, English or Spanish. The Metis established posts far up the Saskatchewan River, and have seen the Stony Mountains and were aware of the Oregon River. It is noteworthy that the Metis reached the Stony Mountains (Rockies) some two decades before Daniel Boone pushed the American frontier west to Kentucky.
Louisiana Territory east of the Mississippi River is ceded to Great Britain. West of the Mississippi is the Viceroyalty of New Spain. As a result 700 Canadian exiled Acadians who were sent to Virginia then England where sent to Louisiana, New Spain. Jean Jacques Blaise d'Abbadie became Governor Louisiana.

Juan Maria de Rivera on his 2nd venture to Colorado led a group of traders and missionaries to Durango, Colorado. It is not know if he established a mission/colony.
Joseph Smith of the HBC made his second trip into the Nor-West.
The Ojibwa and Metis began to replace the Assiniboine and Cree in the Red River region. They also began moving into the Swan River and Cumberland districts and penetrated as far as the Assiniboine River at its confluence with the Souris River. It would appear the Assiniboine and Cree withdrew. Some believe, until this date, the the Western Cree acted as middlemen in the fur trade and did not trap furs. About this time the the Metis and French Voyagers moved into the interior and surpassed the Cree in trade. The Cree began to abandon the Red River Valley and Assiniboine River, being replaced by the Ojibwa and Metis.
Nicolas Marchesseau b-1730's and Pierre Antaya (Peltier) are independent traders at British Michilimackinac, (Michigan), Prairie du Chein in partnership with Ales Hamelin.

The British seriously considered trading the whole gigantic country of Canada back to the French in exchange for the Caribbean Island of Guadaloupe.
During the period 1763 to 1775, twenty thousand Scots emigrated to America and established themselves in Canada and in New York's Mohawk and upper Hudson Valleys.
Issac Batt d-1791 and Joseph Smith d-1763 went up the Fox River. Joeeph Smith died on the return trip leaving his canoe and tent mate with his orphaned Metis child.
Joseph Smith of the Hudson Bay reported no French are wintering on the Saskatchewan river. Unfortunately he died on the return trip, leaving a country wife and child. This is likely a false report. The French population at this time is sixty five thousand people. The Territory of Quebec passed from the French to the English, and the Montreal, Quebec based fur trading companies consolidated the remnants of the French trading companies. France withdrew from North America, giving the Louisiana Territories (Lands west of the Mississippi) to Spain and lands east of the Mississippi to the British.
A flood of new traders entered the Great Lakes with some heading towards the Red River (Msanitoba) and Saskatchewan River networks of the North West Territories. Lachine, near Montreal, Quebec, with its cluster of forty warehouses, is the major convergence point of the great supply network to the North West Territories.
La Mothe and Michel Joseph Marchetteau, alias Noyer, voyagers, are recorded at British Mackinac (Michigan), this year in the birth, death and marriage records.
Alexander Henry the elder (1739-1824) of New Jersey, Lieutenant Jamet, two Canadians and two Ojibwa, traveled in winter from St Mary's village to Mackinac due to the Sault fire. Father P. Dujuanay, baptized Joseph la Mothe, was the son of a woman named Chopin, a former slave of Sieur L.E. Chevalier, and now a slave of Alexander Henry (1739-1824) of New Jersey. Alexander protested the baptism, but Chopin insisted and the baptism continued. Chopin declared the father as la Mothe, a Voyageur, now at La Pointe.
In desperation, Captain Simeon Ecuyer introduced the first biological germ warfare in America by sending smallpox infested blankets and handkerchiefs to the natives surrounding Fort Pitt, which started an epidemic among the natives. Smallpox spread around the Great Lakes into Ohio and the Mississippi and is spreading into the North West. Lord Jeffrey Amhurst, the British Commander-in-Chief for America, had previously encouraged this tactic in a letter to Simeon Ecuyer. This horrific genocide activity was to repeat itself throughout the Americas. General Jeffrey Amherst and Colonel Henry Bouquet used smallpox infected blankets and handkerchiefs to transmit this disease to the Indians.
To the 'Assinipoval Metis' of Red River and La Pointe (Madeleine Island, Wisconsin) it is business as usual. To the Natives of the Great Lakes, the passing of Quebec to the English was a proclamation of war. Pontiac, who was born in an Ottawa village, sent war belts to the chiefs of other Algonquian tribes to declare war in the Northwest Wilderness against the British. Two thousand soldiers, traders and settlers died this spring and summer at such locations as:
Fort Sandusky on the south shore of Lake Erie fell to the Ottawa and Wyandotte,
Fort St. Joseph (Niles, Michigan) fell to Potawatomi,
Fort Miami (Fort Wayne, Indiana) fell to the Miami,
Fort Ouiatenon (Lafayette, Indiana) fell to the Miami, Kickapoo, Wea (a sub group of the Miami) and Peoria
(Mascouten a sub group of Illinois).
Fort Michilimackinac (Mackinac) fell June 3rd to the Ojibwa who overpowered thirty-five soldiers killing twenty of them.
Earlier Minavavana, the Ojibwa Chief, had warned the British trader: Englishmen, although you have conquered the French you have not yet conquered us,
Fort Edward's Augustus (Green Bay, Wisconsin) was abandoned by Gorrell an Englashman to the Ottawa,
Fort Venango (Franklin), Fort Le Boeuf (Waterford) and Fort Presqu'isle (L'Assomption) (Erie, Pennsylvania) fell to the Seneca, Venango, Ottawa,
Wyandotte (Wendat) and Ojibwa.
The following forts are listed as destroyed:
Fort St. Peter at Rain Lake.
Fort St. Charles at Woods Lake (Lake of the Woods).
Fort Mayrepas on Lake Winnipeg.
Fort Dauphin on Meadows Lake.
Fort Nipawee on the Saskatchewan is believed destroyed this year.
Russian traders, seeking the fur of sea otters, reached Kodiak (Alaska). The Alutiiq drove them away.
The English reported that the French traders at Green Bay and Sault Ste Marie, having purchased wives from the Indians, still preserved their feelings for the French King.
A 40 ton sloop is built at Point Aux Pins, Lake Superior, north Sault Ste Marie.
The transfer of control from the French to the English would have a longer term impact on the Metis as the English systematically began the process of replacing the French and Metis from significant positions in business. This strategy would continue into the late twentieth century. The North West culture would not feel the impact until the 1790's when they began their incivility programs.
The Spanish takeover of Louisiana, Viceroyalty of New Spain, was an attempt to oust the the French Coureurs des Bois and the Taovayas (Wichita & Caddo Peoples) from their ancient trading positions, especially the villages of San Bernardo and San Teodoro on the Red River east of Comanches.
(I)-Pierre Laclede (1724-1778) and Auguste Chouteau b-1751 arrived Fort Chartres 20 miles above Ste. Gepevieve the only settlement on the west bank of the Mississippi Riever, Upper country of Louisians. The commondant of Fort Chartres was Neyon de Viliers (Nyon de Cilliers). (I)-Pierre Laclede (1724-1778) and Auguste Chouteau b-1751 on horseback rode to Cabpkia the Uppermost Village and Settlement of Louisiana and went as far as the mouth of the Missouri River. He noted that many natives of the soil (Metis and Indian) resided in the vicinity. Some credit Laclede with being the first recorded European to visit St. Louis on the west bank of the Mississippi River below the mouth of the Missouri River..

February 10: France ceded all rights in North America. The French Culture, at this time, had already been fractured into Quebec French, Canadian French Metis, Upper Louisiana (Illinois) French Metis and Lower Louisiana French Metis. The Quebec French had effectively alienated the Metis who no longer held any alliance with France. The Lousisiana Territory was ceded to Spain by the Treaty of Paris. The French decedents are classed as the White Creaoles: mixed blood French and German, the Black Creoles: mixed blood French and Blacks, French Indian: mixed blood French and Indian, Cajuns: French Acadians: mixed blood Acadian, and all else: German, Italian, Scots, Irish, Spanish, etc. It is estimated that Viceroyalty of New Spain (west Louisiana) contained about 7,500 European, mostly mixed blood.

(III)-Jean Baptiste Cadotte Sr. (1723-1803) of Sault Ste. Marie and Alexander Henry the elder (1739-1824) journeyed to La Pointe in Chequamegon Bay to establish a trading post. (I)-Simon McTavish (1750-1804) came to America from the Highlands of Scotland, Stratherrick, Scotland, probably indentured. Alexander Henry the elder (1739-1824) wrote at the carrying place of Toronto on June 18 that the Indians obliged me to carry a burden of more than a hundred pounds weight. The Indians walked at a quick pace, and I could by no means see myself left behind. Next morning we reached Lake Ontario. Anastasie Nipissing saved Alexander Henry's life and he described her as an Indian woman of the Chippeway nation and, generally, very respected. Some contend a daughter of a chief of the Awause clan and a relative of chief Matchekewis helped instigate the 1763 Fort Michilimackinac affair.
Alexander Henry, the younger, Metis (1764-1814) nephew of Alexander Henry the elder (1739-1824) and his slave girl, Chopen an Indian slave girl, who was previously a slave to La Mothe (likely (II)-Guillaume Dagneau ( Dagnaux) Douville, sieur de la Mothe (Motte) (1706- 1761) of Detroit), who bore him a son named Joseph La Mothe, Metis. Henry the elder had low regard for Indians as he objected to the baptism of Joseph. He likely believed the baptism was a recognition the slave girl was married to La Mothe and he was thereby committing adultery.
The following voyagers are recorded at Mackinac this year in the birth, death and marriage records; (IV)-Jean Baptiste Cauchois (d-1777), Jean Baptiste Le Beau, Laurent DuCharme and Francois Le Blanc born 1712 also known as (Franceway, Saswee and Shish), voyager of Michillimahnac. (IV)-Jean Baptiste Cauchois (d-1777) son (III)-Jean Baptiste Cauchois (1700-1736) and Marie Gagnon; married Michilimakinac an Angelique (Sans Chagrin) Sejourne daughter d'Alexis Sejourne (Sans Chagrin) and Marie Angelique Tareau.
Fort Michilimackinac refers to three distinct forts on the Straits of Mackinac. The first French fort is established 1690 (St. Agnace, Michigan). About 1715, a second Fort was constructed on the south shore (Mickinaw City, Michigan). About 1764, the Fort was moved to Mackinac Island (Michigan).
Fort Erie is built as a French trading post this year at the south entrance to the Niagara River opposite Buffalo, N.Y.
The Metis essentially assumed control of the French Fort de Chartes (Ste-Anne) (Fort Cavendish, Illinois) (that reverted to New France 1767), and establishing St. Louis, Illinois and making it their trading center for the Mississippi/Missouri Western trade. It is noteworthy that other Metis settlements included: Fort Vincennes, (St. Francois Xavier) ou Ouabache (Knox, Indiana), Cahokia, (Illinois) Kaskaskia, (Illinois) and Prairie du Rocher, Illinois, St. Genevieve and Fort de Chartres, Missouri, and Prairie de Chien, Wisconsin and many more. Some claim that St. Louis (Missouri) was established by Pierre Laclede (1724-1778) and Auguste Chouteau in February 1764 as a fur trading post using 30 men for the construction. This area originally called Cahokia des Illinois or upper Louisiana was first settled about 1698 by Europeans and included most of central and southern Illinois. It was originally a great Mound Builder City of over 50,000 people located near Collinsville, Illinois.
British Fort Assomption de la Pointe de Montreal du Detroit (Sandwich Co. Essex, Ontario) maintained birth, marriage and death records (1764-1799).
Canadian exiled Acadians flooded into Santo Domingo.
