(I)- George Simpson (1787-1860) noted the homeliness of European women in the Northern Regions, stating that our Canadian Metis women are angles compared to them. Some claimed he fathered seventy sons between the Red River and the Rocky Mountains. It is interesting, after making these statements, how he could turn on these very women in his later life. (I)- George Simpson (1787-1860) would marry his eighteen year old cousin, Frances. He, however, only acknowledged two children in Britain and five children in Canada; by four women: Betsy Sinclair, Margaret Nahoway, Margaret Taylor, Mary Keith. He had an affair with Anne Foster that did not produce an issue. He did much to destroy the 'Country Marriage' tradition, which was so common at this time. This is a critical turning point, as Indian and Metis women became lesser citizens in the eyes of the Hudson Bay Company and the Church. (I)- George Simpson (1787-1860), putting away his Country wives, upset the Chief Traders because he also put down their own 'Country Wives'. The Hudson Bay Company, this year, attempted to redirect Red River settlers to Oregon to secure the Company trading position, but only a score or so families made the move. Meanwhile, the Irish Orangemen in lower Canada were becoming the storm troopers of the Conservatives, and July parades were often occasions for violence.
The Scottish Anglicans in Red River declared country marriages to Indian or Half-breeds is immoral and debased.
The influx of European women into Red River caused cultural problems as the lovely, tender exotics had no useful social or economic role to play in a harsh fur-trade environment.

The Minnesota Sioux, the Assiniboine and later the Yanktonai Sioux developed floral art in their quillwork.

The Freemen from Pembina (Red River) have been in continual contact with the Dakota Peoples on the Missouri River since before the 1790's. They usually traveled with the Western Ojibwa and Plains Cree
An estimated 820 Red River carts are counted in the annual bison (buffalo) hunt out of Red River.
Between 1830 to 1860 thousands of American Blacks escaped slavery by going north into Canada on what was called the Under Ground Railway. They followed the big dipper that was called the drinking gourd.
Between 1830 to 1850's the Old Spanish Train was extensively used from New Mexico to California. The Spanish first used the trail in 1776 likely being shown by the Ute People. The Ute engaged in the slave trade on the Old Spanish Trail to traders and settlers for horses. The slaves were used as domestic servants, wives and prostutes. Wakara (Walkara) and his brother Arrapeen were nuterious slave traders, they often raided Paiute and Majave villages to obtain young girls.

William Connolly (1786/87-1849), an Irish Canadian, took a Country Wife, Susanne Pas-de-nom, a Cree, according to Indian custom in 1803, at Rat River which feeds into the Red River. This year(1832) he took his Country Wife to Quebec and obtained a dispensation from the Roman Catholic Church who regarded the Indian marriage as invalid. He took this action so he could marry his second cousin, Julia Woolrich (d-1865) of Montreal. He sent his wife and children back to Red River. In 1867, based on a claim by his Metis children, Mr. Justice Monk found that the Indian Marriage was a valid marriage despite what the Roman Catholic Church had to say, and that the second marriage was invalid (null & void). It is noteworthy that a marriage is between a man, a woman and God. The Churches, Government and the Community are just witnesses. It is also noteworthy that a search of Hudson Bay Company and North West Company records show very few cases of Native Wives being accused of infidelity. This is not so of their European spouses, especially the English.
Marie Janette Piquette, also known as Saugemauqua, widow of (IV)-Jean Baptiste Cadotte (1761-1818), on January 5, 1832, agreed to keep house for George Johnson- then living at the Sault.

She would eventually sell her land and move in with her younger brother Jean Baptiste Piquette.

(I)-William Glen Rae (1809-1845) son (I)-John Rae and Margaret Glen Campbell, led a disastrous expedition to the United States to purchase sheep for the Red River experimental farm but only 250 out of twelve-hundred returned alive.
Nathaniel J. Wyeth of England says when the Mountain men and English meet the Indians, a fight results. Not so the French who flatter the Indians, give him powder, and balls, and flint, and guns, and make Catholic of him, and make out to live in friendship with red men and women of the wilderness. The French have always had a stronger affection of the Indians than any other people.
Nathaniel J. Wyeth of England is a man not easily diverted from any of his notions, or liable to be influenced by the advice of others, even those with considerable experience like Mr. William Sublet the Frenchman. This stubbornness caused many a disaster.
John B. Wyeth reports that Sublet says the Indians do not believe the white adage that 'might is right', "the word of the trading Indians is as good as the bible".
Milton Sublet and 20 traders joined the Wyeth Expedition to travel to Pierre's Valley or Hole.
Captain Sublet had 200 trappers in his employ as well as 500 Indians engaged in the trade.
R.L. Wakefield, William Nud and Lane left the Wyeth expedition to join the Sublet enterprise of trapping and trading.
The Wyeth expedition and Sublet party encountered the Blackfoot who approached under a white flag of truce. They gunned down the Blackfoot leader without honor and started a war called the battle of Pierre's Valley and endangered the lives of all traders in the Region. A man named Antoine, a Metis, killed the Blackfoot saying they had killed his father. John Bull (1794-1884) was part of this expedition. Joe Meek b-1810 joined in the encounter at Pierries Hole because the Blackfoot had killed his first wife.
A party of Joe Walker, Joe Meek, Joe Gale, Bill Williams, Mark Head, Bob Mitchel, Alex Godey, QAntoine Janise, William Craig and others ventured into California to steal horses from the Spaniards.
The Hudson Bay Company founded Fort Nisqually about 15 miles south of Tacoma Oregon Territory (Washington), others say it was built 1833.
