But the frontier economy of the Ottawa River watershed, with its unlimited natural resources, loose regulation, and cheap labour pool, also created a climate in which energetic entrepreneurs could quickly increase their control of the trade.
Names can be misleading: the Ottawa River bears the name of a First Nations tribe that traded on the waterway, but lived far to the west, first in the Georgian Bay region of Lake Huron and then in the regions of Lake Superior and Lake Michigan.
Their wilderness home was remote, but not completely isolated; although they avoided settlement in the St. Lawrence valley for fear of Iroquois attacks, they enjoyed a brisk interior-network trading relationship with the Tadoussac-based Montagnais to the east (from whom they received European goods) and the Huron, Nipissing, and Ottawa to the west.
