Marrero, Associate Professor of History at Wayne State University.In the early eighteenth century, Indigenous and French women directed the fur trade at several locations in the North American continental interior, including Detroit. By the mid-eighteenth century, as British, French, and Indigenous nations competed for political, military and economic control, the women’s activities made them targets of distrust. After 1763, as the British tried to co-opt French trading networks with Indigenous nations, they also tried to limit women’s control of trade. This presentation will discuss how French and Indigenous women shaped the fur trade, and how British efforts to limit their activities were ultimately unsuccessful.This event will be located in the Media Room, which is by the Woodward Entrance, on the first floor.If you cannot attend in-person, join us on Zoom!Link: zoom.us/joinMeeting ID: 865 4088 9452Passcode: 623270IF YOU DO INTEND TO ATTEND VIA ZOOM, PLEASE DO NOT ORDER A TICKET.
