Abstract: The origins of the western Plains Métis in the latter quarter of the eighteenth century are a function of "wintering" in the Montreal-based fur trade. Wintering laid the basis for relationships which with the emergence of the freeman would establish the sociocultural circumstances necessary for some Native children to be raised distinct from residential Indian bands. With the marriages of these children among themselves the Métis would emerge as part of the presettlement western Canadian sociocultural complex.
