Because of ill treatment by M. du Chapart, governor of Fort Rosalie, Louisiana, who wished the site of a Natchez village on which to build a town, and because of other abuses, the Natchez People rose against the French and massacred over two hundred of them. Governor Périer formed an army and advanced against them in their fort. The Natchez offered to leave the place if their lives were spared. Their offer was accepted, but they were detained as prisoners, all but twenty who escaped. About four hundred and fifty of the tribe, including the Great Sun, the Little Sun and several of the principal war chiefs, were captured and carried to New Orleans. The women and children were retained as slaves on the plantations. Some of the prisoners were burned in New Orleans.

(I)-Richard Norton, an apprentice clerk, imported a horse to help with the building of the stone Fort, Prince of Wales.

The Green Bay post, New France (Wisconsin). is rebuilt, and (I)-Charles de Beauharnois de La Boische (1671-1749, Governor of New France (1726-1747), sent another army to eat up the remaining Renard (Fox Ojibwa Indians).

The Hudson Bay Company reported that 12 Canadians, in September, are again on the shores of Lake Winnipeg (a.k.a. Bourbon) (Manitoba), at the source of the Hayes and Nelson Rivers. These traders are not from the Company of La Verendrye. Only 16 canoes reached York on the Bay, and an estimated forty-some are being diverted to the Canadians (Metis and Coureurs des Bois). This would imply that there were more than 12 Metis and Coureurs des Bois on Lake Winnipeg (Bourbon) and further west, likely up the Saskatchewan, at this time.
(III)-Louis Denis, Monsieur de La Ronde (1675-1741), Captain of Fort La Pointe, Ojibwa Country (Wisconsin) built the first sailing vessel on Lake Superior at Sault Ste Marie. It had a 40 ton burden and sailed between Sault Ste Marie (Michigan/Ontario) and Fort La Pointe Ojibwa Country, (Madeleine Island, Wisconsin). It appears to have operated until being lost in 1763. Louis Denies also built a dock at Fort La Pointe, Ojibwa Country (Wisconsin) for his vessel. To his credit is the building of a mill and the importing of a number of horses to the area. Some contend that the ship is not completed until 1735. Still others suggest the first sailing is 1734.
(II)-Christophee DuFrost (Dufros) (1708-1736) de La Jemerais (Jemeraye) (La Vérendrye's nephew), and the oldest son of Verendaye, (III)-Jean Baptiste de la Verendrye (1713-1736) established a post (Fort Saint Pierre) at the west end of Rainy Lake (International Falls) where it drains into the Rainy River, and the balance of the party wintered at Kaministikwia.

Grande Portage was the first French settlement in Minnesota.
Auchagah, the Cree, had previously provided (II)-Pierre Gauthier de Varennes et de La Verendrye (1685-1749) with maps of the territory west of Lake Superior. (II)-Pierre Gauthier de Varennes et de La Verendrye (1685-1749) reported that Auchagah said that the Dakota Sioux and the Cree are hotly contesting the Red River Valley. Future activities suggest he may be fabricating this story to secure a more prominent position in the Indies Company. Others (the Bay Men) suggest he is instigating these troubles . (II)-Christophee DuFrost (Dufros) (1708-1736) de La Jemerais (Jemeraye) or Gemerais, is the first of the La Verendrye Party to advance from Grande Portage up the Naladuagon, Groselliers or Pigion River to Rainy Lake and then Lake of the Woods. Some believe this is the first time that Grande portage was first used by the French. This is highly unlikely as the Metis, coureurs de bois and natives have likely used this route for years. The first reported use was 1722 and was surely in use prior to this..
The Indies Company (La Verendrye Company) is responsible for establishing the following Forts from 1731 to 1743:
Fort St. Pierre (Fort Francois) on Rainy Lake, established 1717 rebuilt or upgraded 1731 by Christophe Dufrost de La Jemerais (1708-1736).
Fort St. Charles (Fort Lake of The Woods) on Lake of the Woods, established 1732 in early summer for La Verendrye's headquarters..

Fort La Reine (Maurepas and Queens Fort) on present site of Portage la Prairie established 1738,
Fort Dauphin on north west shore Lake Manitoba, established 1741, rebuilt 1743
Fort Bourbon where the Saskatchewan River (River Blanche) enters Cedar Lake established 1741.
They also named the Red River, the Maurepas River. The Saskatchewan River, called the Paskayac, or more commonly River Blanche; named after the white waters at Grand Rapids where it enters Lake Winnipeg (Bourbon). They also produced many 'alleged' first hand maps of the Red River Territory. This concentrated effort firmly established the Montreal, Quebec trading network of the Indies Company, as the leader in opening up the interior of a continent and pressing towards the Arctic and Pacific Oceans. It is noteworthy that the Metis and Coureurs des Bois had blazed the trails ten years before the La Verendrye Company even began to penetrate the new north west, and the Indians, especially the Ojibwa, preceded everyone in trade.
The Company of the Indies, realizing its policies were endangering Louisiana, petitioned to have the colony returned to the crown. Louisiana became a royal province and government modeled on the English colonial system was introduced.

The party included Father Mesaiger- the Jesuit, and they arrived at Grande Portage, Ojibwa Country on August 26. They reached Rainy Lake and constructed Fort Saint Pierre before winter set in. It is noteworthy that it took 6 years to reach Lake Winnipeg (a.k.a. Lake Bourbon).
