Most men were not married when they first became involved in the fur trade. European women were extremely rare in the fur trade, and almost all of those women arrived with their husbands. Many fur trade men formed relationships with First Nations women, some going through a form of marriage in accorance with First Nations customs. Many children were born from such relationships. It was quite common for a man to leave his family behind when he left the trading post to which he had been assigned, and to form a new relationship at the next trading post. It was also not uncommon for a man to have more than one wife at the same time, at the same post.
