Not many people know that Marie Montreuil's grandson was a politician. When Gilbert Adolphe Parent was born on July 25, 1935, in Mattawa, Ontario, his father, Nelson, was 41 and his mother, Délima Boulanger was 33. Gilbert Parent was a Canadian member of Parliament. He is best known in his role as speaker of the House of Commons of Canada between 1994 and 2001. He died on March 3, 2009, in Toronto, Ontario, at the age of 73.

This is a question worth exploring as we mark June, National Indigenous History Month.

To better understand of the history behind the land claims of the Anishinaabe Algonquin people, there are several resources available.

One recommended resource we added to our website is the summary of the “Report on the Algonquins of Golden Lake Claim” prepared for the Ontario Native Affairs Secretariat in 1993:

My French ancestors have been residing on Turtle Island for approximately eight to nine generations, while my Irish ancestors arrived three generations ago. In contrast, my Algonquin ancestors have inhabited this land since time immemorial.
I recently received my status card, and only one sibling remains to complete the process. Knowledge of one's ancestral heritage serves as a powerful safeguard against assimilation.
