<div><p><strong><span>Heroines of the 1885 Red River Northwest Terrorities Resistance (adapted from </span></strong><span>http://www.scribd.com/doc/23504372/Marguerite-Monet-dit-Bellehumeur-Riel</span><span> )<strong></strong></span></p> <p><font size="5"><strong>Marguerite Monet dit Bellehumeur Riel</strong> (1861-1886). </font></p> <p>Spouse, <strong>Louis Riel</strong>. </p> <p><strong><span>Marguerite</span></strong><span> was the wife of <strong>Louis Riel</strong>. </span></p> <p><strong><span>Marguerite</span></strong><span> was born January 15, 1861 at White Horse Plains, St. François-Xavier to <strong>Marie Malaterre</strong> and <strong>Jean Baptiste Monet dit Bellehumeur</strong>. Her father was a Quebecer who married <strong>Marguerite Malaterre</strong>. Her mother was a Cree woman from the Fort Ellice <em>(Manitoba, Canada)</em> area. </span></p> <p><strong><span>Marguerite</span></strong><span> spent her childhood at Fort Ellice, near present day St. Lazare, Manitoba. </span></p> <p><strong><span>Jean Bellehumeur</span></strong><span> and his family moved to Montana <em>(USA)</em> to earn a living hunting buffalo. One of the men who accompanied him on hunting parties was a handsome young man named <strong>David Louis Riel</strong>, who caught the eye of the 20-year-old <strong>Marguerite</strong> (1881). <strong>Louis</strong>, who was quite taken with the young lady, asked for her hand in marriage later that year. From his basic description, she was soft-spoken, dark skinned, tall and quite good looking. But his attraction to her lay in her strength of character. They were married by “custom of the country” at Flat Creek. The prairie marriage was performed in 1881, and <strong>Father Damiani</strong> – a Jesuit from St. Peter’s Mission, Montana, formally married them in March of 1882, at Carroll, Montana. </span></p> <p><strong><span>Marguerite</span></strong><span> had her first child, a handsome son named <strong>Jean Riel</strong>, who had the eyes of his mother, on May 9, 1882. </span></p> <p><span>Their second child, <strong>Marie Angélique</strong>, a pretty blonde little girl, was born September 17, 1883. </span></p> <p><strong><span>Marguerite</span></strong><span> was known to be soft spoken, quiet, patient and is also said to have been petite and quite attractive. She took on the all responsibility of a plains wife: gathering firewood, cooking, cleaning and struggling on very little money and food. She was alone most of the time with her children, while <strong>Louis</strong> was fighting for rights of their people. <strong>Louis</strong> had a most devoted wife who worshipped him but feared the harm that could befall their family at the hands of his enemies. </span></p> <p><span>In June 1884, <strong>Marguerite, Jean</strong> and <strong>Angélique</strong> accompanied <strong>Louis</strong> to Batoche, Saskatchewan, in spite of the looming conflict. She was at her husband's side during the battle of 1885 until <strong>Riel</strong> surrendered May 15, to Middleton’s scouts. Cold and hungry, <strong>Marguerite</strong> and her children hid in caves near Batoche while awaiting word from Louis. Instead <strong>Louis’</strong> brother <strong>Joseph</strong> appeared and took <strong>Marguerite</strong> and her children to live with <strong>Riel’s</strong> mother in St. Boniface, Manitoba. </span></p> <p><span>Weakened by the events of Batoche and her husband’s imprisonment, the premature birth and death of her third child added to her grief. Marguerite’s suffering continued with Louis’ execution for his involvement in the Resistance of 1885. After his execution she stayed with his family in St. Vital. </span></p> <p><span>She died of tuberculosis in May of 1886, the final blow dealt to a greatly diminished existence. She was buried beside her beloved <strong>Louis Riel</strong> in St. Boniface. </span></p> <p><span>Their daughter, <strong>Marie Angélique</strong> died of diphtheria in 1897 just before she was to turn 14 years old. </span></p> <p><span>Their son, <strong>Jean</strong> married <strong>Laura Casault</strong>, a daughter of a Québec family. <strong>Jean</strong> died July 31, 1908, at the age of 26 from injuries resulting from a buggy accident. <strong>Jean</strong> and <strong>Laura</strong> had no children.
