Etymology of CADOTTE

Over time, the term "cadet" began to be used in other contexts, including colonial North America. The French explorers and traders used "cadet" to refer to a young person or assistant involved in fur trading expeditions. Eventually, "cadotte" or "cadot" became a term specifically used to refer to a person of mixed French and Indigenous heritage who worked as an interpreter or guide for the fur trading companies.
