VOYAGEURS OF LAKE SUPERIOR

VOYAGEURS OF LAKE SUPERIOR — Episode 2: “Where the Wild Met the World” From Grand Portage to Fort William, Episode 2 dives deep into the rugged, relentless world of the Voyageurs — the men who paddled, portaged, and traded their way through the wild heart of the continent. This episode explores the grand rendezvous, the shifting tides of empire, the alliance with the Ojibwe, and the rise of Fort William as a fur trade powerhouse. Rich with reenactments, historic locations, and untold stories, this episode captures both the grit and the spirit of life on the edge of wilderness. Special thanks to Dainius Sileika, whose compelling performance as Jean-Baptiste (JB) brought both humor and humanity to the story. His monologues anchor this episode with a voice that feels both timeless and alive. Come see where commerce met culture — and where legacy still echoes across the northern shore of Gitche-gami. ‪@NationalParkService‬ ‪@minnesotahistory‬ #LakeSuperiorCircleTour #VoyageursofLakeSuperior #FurTradeHistory #GrandPortage #FortWilliam #DocumentarySeries
