Athanasie Cadot

Athanasie Cadot (1736–1776) was a Nipissing Ojibwe trader, diplomat, and the first wife of fur trader Jean-Baptiste Cadot.

She began living with Cadot after he entered the wilderness. Following the birth of their daughter, the two were married. During Pontiac's War, she saved the life of Alexander Henry the elder while pregnant with her son Michel Cadotte. She later accompanied her children to Montreal, where they attended school, until her death in 1776.

Historians have noted her character and energy, considering her an important contributor to her husband's success and a significant figure in the North American fur trade.
