Fort Union is ideally situated to dominate the final years of the beaver pelt trade and the beginning of the buffalo hide trade, and many tribes deal with McKenzie.

In 1831, McKenzie succeeds in beginning trade with the native Piegan Blackfeet, eventually building Fort McKenzie in their territory as another trading post.
