Absolutely! My grandchildren are descended from HBC man (and first govenor of BC) Sir James Douglas and Amelia Connelly - whose father William Connelly and her mother was Suzanne (Miyo Nipiv was her Cree name). I bet you would find mention of your ancestor in that book "Many Tender Ties" - the HBC is a treasure trove of historical and genealogical records (located in Winnipeg)
