Voyageur Great Grandfathers

Homage to seven generations of voyageur ancestors mostly from the village of La Prairie, Quebec. 


Voyageurs were licensed fur trade workers that paddled canoes and portaged trade goods transporting them to remote trading posts from Montreal and back. However, many of my ancestors were also sometimes unlicensed Coureurs des bois or Woods Runners.


This is my tribute to them...
