1700's Indian settlement in the new world

Little background: we'll have mainly french traders, and no fighting, some settlers way out there but this will be mainly about the tribe itself. Consider the time period when posting, it's pre1776 so no revolution or much in way of settlers.

I tended to the cooking fire as news was brought in, a French trader was on his way. He would set up his trading post away from village but was invited to join us for the evening meal and to show us his wares.

I had never met a trader I was always out tending to fields as an unmarried woman. I hoped the hunting party would be back, so that the meal would be filled with stories and fun. I silently wondered which man I would take to my bed. I had yet to choice a lifepartner, and was about to point where I needed to choose.

He might be a worthy successor.........
