Hudson's bay trading became involved in fur trading with this individual born in riviere-Ouelle
Horace Bélanger Horace Bélanger (June 11, 1836 – October 1, 1892) was born in Rivière-Ouelle, Lower Canada and became involved in the fur trade with the Hudson's Bay Company.
Engagé From the 18th century, an engagé (] , "engagee") was a French-Canadian man employed to canoe in the fur trade, usually as an indentured servant. He was expected to handle all transportation aspects of frontier river and lake travel: maintenance, loading and unloading, propelling, steering, portaging, camp set-up, navigation, interaction with indigenous people, etc. The term was also applied to the men who staffed the pirogues on the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Their role can be contrasted with the free, licensed "voyageurs", the independent merchant "coureurs des bois", as well as seafaring sailors.
