 La Vérendrye, Pierre Gaultier de Varennes et de
Avec la permission de Maurepas, ministre de la Marine, mais sans soutien financier, La Vérendrye demande et obtient, en 1731, le monopole de la traite des fourrures de la région pour trois ans.
Il s'associe avec un certain nombre de marchands et, entre 1731 et 1737, il s'affaire à construire des postes du lac Supérieur au lac Winnipeg pour promouvoir la traite, tout en recueillant des renseignements auprès des autochtones.
Les espoirs de faire une découverte importante sont tellement grands que Maurepas perd patience, accusant La Vérendrye de disperser ses énergies dans la traite plutôt que de les consacrer à l'exploration, et suggère au gouverneur BEAUHARNOIS de le remplacer.

In the early 1720s French explorers still knew relatively little about the interior of the North American continent, since the most western point they had reached at that time was Lac La Pluie (Rainy Lake, Ontario).
Born in Trois Rivières in 1685, Pierre Gaultier de Varennes et de La Vérendrye first served in the army in Canada and Europe (1696-1712) and then devoted himself to farming near Trois Rivières (1712-1727), before being appointed commander at Kaministiquia (Thunder Bay).
