Jean-Baptiste Cadot

Jean-Baptiste Cadot(December 5, 1723 – November 1, 1800), also referred to as Ke-che-sub-ud-ese, was a Métis voyageur and fur trader.

He joined in on the North American Fur Trade when he was 18. After the birth of his daughter he married Athanasie Cadot under catholic tradition.

During Pontiac's War, he convinced the Ojibwe around Lake Superior not to join in the war. During the American revolution he worked for the British as an interpreter and helped recruit Ojibwe to fight in the battle of St. Louis.

His death would ignite the Ownership of Sault Ste. Marie controversy. His descendants would go on to be influential in the North American Fur Trade around Lake Superior. He would appear many times in popular culture in both Canada and the United States.
