Who We Are

The North American Voyageur Council (NAVC) is a nonprofit educational organization for individuals interested in various aspects of the fur trade era (1740-1830).  Our membership includes researchers, reenactors, living historians and history buffs who all share the common love of the fur trade.

What We Do

The Fall Gathering

Every year the NAVC holds our fall conference.  Check out our Photo Gallery for program highlights from previous years. Check out The Fall Gathering page for more info!

Unplug from Today

Joining the NAVC allows our members to connect to other like-minded individuals to teach new skills, discuss our shared history and provide opportunities to challenge ourselves to improve our living history impressions.  Whether interpreting for the public, enjoying quiet times, or socializing, the NAVC encourages our members to grow.

Share our Skills

Our members participate at various events, supporting historic sites in their home communities. Bringing a wealth of knowledge, our members demonstrate historic skills, share their research and engage the public in fur trade history

The NAVC also puts out a quarterly publication of the Voyageur Journal, made for members, by members.

The North American Voyageur Council acknowledges that we live, work, and play on the traditional lands of many Indigenous nations who call Turtle Island home. We acknowledge the harms caused to Indigenous peoples during the time we represent and strive to create positive change in the harmful stereotypes and precident created during this era and their effects on history.
