Biography

Antoine was born on 18 April 1803, probably at La Pointe on Madeline Island in modern day Wisconsin. He was the son of fur trader Michel Cadotte Sr. and his Anishinaabe wife Ikwesewe (or Madeline).[1] On 4 August 1827, he married Rosalie Borbanna in Chippewa County, Michigan Territory, which at the time included La Pointe.[2] They later had a Catholic ceremony conducted by Father Baraga at La Pointe on 13 September 1835. That same day, Antoine was also baptized. Antoine worked for the American Fur Company, at first out of La Pointe, but in 1837 he was sent to work at Grand Portage, at the northeastern tip of modern day Minnesota. However, he was sent back to La Pointe by the end of the year as "[h]e [was] lonesome for his family." Antoine and Rosalie had at least eight children:[3]
