Angus McDonald was an agent of the Hudson Bay Trading Company and established Fort Connen (Connah) near Ravalli, Montana. McDonald and his wife, Catherine, raised 12 children including Angus Pierre who was the son of a Okanogan woman in Canada but raised as one of their own from the age of 14. Another son, Duncan McDonald, is well known for his knowledge of Native American history and mythology. All of the McDonald children were raised with a strong emphasis on education.
