\n<\/a>Grand Portage National Monument<\/a>\u00a0is located on the north shore of\u00a0Lake Superior\u00a0in northeastern\u00a0Minnesota. \u00a0It exists to\u00a0preserves a vital center of\u00a0fur trade\u00a0activity and\u00a0Anishinaabeg\u00a0Ojibwe\u00a0heritage. \u00a0Opened in 2007, the\u00a0Grand Portage National Monument Heritage Center\u00a0features exhibit galleries about Ojibwe culture and the fur trade, a bookstore, multi-media programs, park offices, archives and a classroom. The center is a collaboration between the\u00a0National Park Service\u00a0and the\u00a0Grand Portage Band\u00a0of Lake Superior Chippewa.<\/p>\n

History<\/h1>\n

As early as 2,000 years ago,\u00a0Indian\u00a0Nations probably used\u00a0Gichi-onigaming, or \u201cthe Great Carrying Place\u201d, to travel from summer homes on Lake Superior to winter hunting grounds in the interior of Minnesota and\u00a0Ontario. In 1729\u00a0Cree\u00a0guide\u00a0Auchagah\u00a0drew a map for some of the first\u00a0French\u00a0fur traders, to show them how to reach the “western sea” of\u00a0Lake Winnipeg. In time, Grand Portage became the gateway into rich northern fur-bearing country, where it connected remote interior outposts to lucrative international markets.<\/p>\n

The Grand Portage trail is an 8.5-mile trail connecting Grand Portage with\u00a0Fort Charlotte\u00a0on the Pigeon River.\u00a0Voyageurs\u00a0from the interior of Canada would carry their furs by canoe to Fort Charlotte, and portage the bundles of fur to Grand Portage. There they met traders from Montreal, and exchanged the furs for trade goods and supplies. Each canoe “brigade” then returned to its starting place. The fur traders built Fort Charlotte as a trading fort at Grand Portage. There they built the Grand Hall in the French colonial style, which housed their meetings, a general store, and other facilities.<\/p>\n

In mid-July 1802, partners of the\u00a0North West Company, the most successful fur trade company in North America, met in their Grand Hall at Grand Portage. They voted to move their summer headquarters from the protected shores of Lake Superior\u2019s Grand Portage Bay 50 miles north to the mouth of the Kaministiquia River. Almost from the time the\u00a0Anglo-Scot\u00a0Nor\u2019Westers had organized at Grand Portage in the mid-1780’s, an emerging\u00a0United States\u00a0wanted them to stop competing with Americans in this territory.<\/p>\n

The July vote meant that the North West Company would tear down its 18 buildings and transport the materials north in company\u00a0schooners\u00a0for use in constructing the planned new\u00a0Fort William, far from U.S. soil. The buildings were constructed from native squared\u00a0spruce,\u00a0pine\u00a0and\u00a0birch\u00a0and were surrounded by more than 2,000\u00a0cedar\u00a0pickets.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nThe Grad Portage Trail – seen here in red – must have been quite a haul. \u00a0The North Canoe was used on this routed. \u00a0At 25′ long, 4′ wide with about 18″ of draft when fully loaded; the canoe itself weighed about 300 lbs. \u00a0This was about half the size of the Montreal Canoe that was used on the Great Lakes. \u00a0Even with a crew of 5-6, transporting the 300 lb. canoe and just under 3000 lbs of supplies all divided out into 25-30 90 lb packs called pieces, could not have been an easy task. \u00a0Those voyagers where hearty stock no doubt.<\/p>\n

\nBeginning at the stockade on Grand Portage Bay of\u00a0Lake Superior, the 8.5-mile trail leads westward into the wilderness to a mid-point on the\u00a0Pigeon River. It passes numerous rapids and a variety of waterfalls. \u00a0The most notable are\u00a0Middle Falls<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0Pigeon Falls<\/i>. \u00a0Both are part of the\u00a0Grand Portage State Park<\/a>\u00a0and are within the\u00a0Rove Formation. \u00a0Middle Falls is most easily seen from\u00a0Pigeon River Provincial Park\u00a0on the Canadian side of the border. To avoid numerous short portages, the\u00a0Grand Portage<\/i>\u00a0was developed.<\/p>\n
