METIS HISTORY 1700-1707
METIS HISTORY Return to METIS 1700-1749 index
The French establish a Policy of non-exploration into the Indian Territories
for the next 10 years.
The Metis and Coureurs des Bois, however, continue to conduct expeditions into
the North and South West.
They are in the process of Nation building.
The following are, basically, Fort Detroit inhabitants
who paid rent between 1707-1710, and includes those who paid no rent but are in the
vicinity in 1701 or earlier, to 1710.
It would appear that rent was a form of taxation to cover the cost of
government (protection) and the services of the Church. Those who didn't
pay rent, such as visiting traders, were forced to pay a Church tax anyway. The renters, however,
were required to obtain permission (permit)
to leave the colony, whereas the non residents were freemen. Some renters
were, in fact, farming a fair distance from Fort Detroit, New France
(Michigan), but both farmers and town
dwellers disappeared during the hunting or fur trading seasons. Fort Detroit,
New France (Michigan) was virtually empty except for the army. It would appear
that those who paid no
rent are soldiers, indentured people, merchants, Coureurs des Bois, free traders,
voyagers or those living among the Indians.
It is noteworthy that the Native tribes were encouraged to settle around the
Fort, and the Wendat, Oppenagos, Ottawas, Miamis, and Iroquois established
settlements, immediately planting gardens. Farming means living away from
the Fort on a farm size property and may or may not include agriculture.
Lots within the palisades were generally 20 x 25 feet. An arpent of land is 192 feet on a side. A livre, a French coin was worth 20 cents.
