In 1869, after the Louis Riel uprising of the Breed, the Calders migrated east from the Red River Settlement in Manitoba. Their heritage was the mixed blood of Orkney men and Indian maidens. As employers of the Hudson Bay Trading Company, William traded furs in the Eagle Lake, Keewatin and Fort Frances areas, while James, his father, was appointed in charge of Kettle Falls and Seine River working as an interpreter. They transported their families by canoe and york boats.
