Pemmican Proclamation
- When
- 8 January 1814
- Where
- Red River Colony
Miles MacDonell issued the Pemmican Proclamation in January 1814, prohibiting pemmican exports from the Red River Colony.
The proclamation was intended to secure food supplies for the colony. However, it exacerbated tensions with the North West Company, which relied on pemmican for trade routes. Environmental conditions in 1815 and 1816 left pemmican in short supply, worsening the conflict.
