Voyageurs were licensed fur traders employed by fur trading companies, while coureurs de bois were independent fur traders who operated without authorization. Voyageurs typically worked in the fur trade under the control of a company, while coureurs de bois operated outside of company regulations, often venturing into uncharted territories to trade independently.
To commemorate the French voyageurs, "coureurs de bois" or explorers who explored North America and created settlements.
In New France, the relationship between First Nations people and voyageurs or coureurs des bois was characterized by mutual dependence and collaboration. The voyageurs relied on Indigenous knowledge for navigating and surviving in the wilderness, while First Nations groups benefited from European goods such as metal tools, firearms, and textiles. Trade partnerships, particularly in fur, were established, leading to a complex interplay of cultural exchange and adaptation. However, these relationships were also marked by tension and conflict as European expansion and differing cultural values began to impact Indigenous ways of life.
Voyageurs were a group of licensed fur traders in New France (before Quebec was a Province) Ranging out from Montreal they traded around the Great Lakes and participated in exploration in the western regions. Prior to the licensing of the voyageurs there were "coureurs des bois" (runners of the woods) who were individual who engaged in the fir trae witout permission. Both groups lived along the St Lawrence River but spent winters in settlements and with First Nations people in the western regions around the Great Lakes. As the fur trade moved West so did they.
blahhhhhh what they mean is that the coureurs de bois got their names from being: the were young men who jumped at the chance for adventure. they were also called "runners of the woods." also they were french woods men who travelled to the interior of Canada to engaged in the fur trade with the natives without permission from the French authorities. then later in 1681 the french gave out permits to some of the coureurs de bois who became voyageurs if they got the permit.
The first nations changed the coureur de bois life because they helped the coureur de bois work together.

They were there before 1663, but only in small numbers. The Sixties however saw a great increase in immigration to Canada from France and with that, a great increase in the number of coureurs des bois. Their days as free agents came to an end even before 1700, because the French Government decided to regulate this trade and gave trade concessions to big trading houses. This system (the so-called 'congé'-system) put the trade in the hands of the traveling representatives of the trading houses, the voyageurs.
