Charles CHARTIER |
A fur trapper, V- Charles Chartier became a great voyager to the West from about 1800 to 1814. His trade was partly made with Sault Ste Marie and partly with the territories of the Mid and Far West, either sides of the unexplored boundaries. He came back to the region of L’Assomption with his children in 1814, possibly after the death of his Indian wife. Family tradition indicates that Charles was a half-breed, but there is no documentation to support this. In 1997 Francis Kosalek wrote to the Hudson Bay Fur Co. and determined that Charles worked for the XY Co. in 1805. Both companies listed his debt, which probably means they grubstaked him to go west and obtain furs for them. The Ojibwa (the last syllable is pronounced “way”; the name refers to the peculiar puckered seam of their moccasins: Europeans garbled it into Chippeway and stuck to it so persistently that many Ojibwas today call themselves Chippeways) made up one of the largest nations north of Mexico with a population of 25,000 or more. North of them an almost identical people known as the Cree controlled the enormous spruce-fir country that ran all the way up to Hudson Bay. At the eastern end of Lake Superior, at the present Sault St Marie, the Ojibwa joined with the Ottawa and Potawatomi in a loose confederacy known to white traders as the Three Fires. In the traditions of all three of these tribes they were originally one, and that not too many centuries ago. Gloria Chartier Roebuck found a Michael Dufault who was Chippewa Indian born in Wisconsin, but he lived most of his life in Michigan and Minnesota. Many of the Dufault family lived and died at White Earth Reservation in Minnesota. What this may mean is that Charles went west with members of his mother’s family.
