Synopsis

Founders of the Fur Trade in Northern Minnesota

Explore the early trailblazers who opened the upper Midwest to trade and exploration. This article traces Groselliers, Radisson, Du Luth, and Verendrye, showing how their journeys and councils with Indigenous peoples laid the groundwork for the fur economy and future settlement.

Delve into vivid histories of river routes, cross‑cultural negotiations, and the perilous beginnings of a vast commercial network. The piece connects these bold ventures to the broader story of how northern Minnesota was opened to European commerce and what that meant for the region’s long history.

  • early encounters with Sioux, Crees, and other tribes
  • the founding moments of the northern fur trade
