Archaeology of Colonial America
Voyageurs were French-Canadian fur traders and explorers who played a crucial role in the North American fur trade during the 17th and 18th centuries. They were known for their canoeing skills and ability to navigate the vast waterways of Canada and the northern United States, often transporting goods between trading posts and Indigenous communities. Their contributions significantly impacted both French exploration efforts and the establishment of trade networks in North America.
