From the 18th century, an engagé (French: [ɑ̃ɡaʒe]; also spelled engagee) was a French-Canadian man employed to canoe in the fur trade as an indentured servant. He was expected to handle all transportation aspects of frontier river and lake travel: maintenance, loading and unloading, propelling, steering, portaging, camp set-up, navigation, interaction with Indigenous people, etc. The term was also applied to the men who staffed the pirogues on the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Their role can be contrasted with the free, licensed voyageurs, the independent merchant coureurs des bois, as well as seafaring sailors.Engagé were people who were brought to New France by France to work there.

Source describes the Acadians being forced to labor on behalf of the crown to support the colony, but they were also settling there as freemen. It's not a case of indentured servitude. The Germans mentioned in the source also were not indentured and were in Guiana, not Saint-Domingue. Source is a discussion of Charles Sealsfield travelogue and does include his phrase "being sold as white slaves" to refer to recently arrived poor Germans who entered into indenture contracts. No evidence that Creoles used this term "often". More on talk page. Second source uses "indentured" as an adjective in a passing mention of the canal's construction. More detailed and specific sources make clear the workers were hired and exploited, but not indentured. More on talk page. Source mentions "indentured Irish" in passing; other sources focused specifically on Irish labor and the canal do not support the claim

By the 19th century the term came to refer to employees of the Hudson’s Bay Company of any nationality.
