The Cadotte family is a North American family of European and Indigenous american ancestry that became prominent during the North American Fur Trade.
The founder of the Cadottes originated from mainland France and came to the new world in the 17th century and later married a Métis woman as an adult. Members of the family such as Jean-Baptiste Cadot and Michel Cadotte would go on to marry children of tribal chiefs.
Many Cadottes appear many times in popular culture and numerous places in both Canada and the United States are named after them.
