La Jemeraye continued as an important participant in La Verendrye 's exploration and fur trading activities. He and Jean Baptiste De La Vérendrye built Fort Maurepas about six miles north of present day Selkirk, Manitoba in 1735. Travelling from there to Fort St. Charles via the Red River/Savanne Portage route, La Jemeraye, who was very ill, died at the junction of the Red and Roseaux rivers. The date of his death gives us proof that, in 1736, La Jemeraye and one of La Verendrye's sons passed The Forks . The Forks is the site of present day Winnipeg . EXTERNAL LINKS
