My marriage database contains both Innu Montagnais First Nations individuals as well as mixed Montagnais / French marriages as listed in a study by the Communauté Métisse du Domaine du Roy et de la Seigneurie de Mingan.  Some mixed French/Montagnais descendants self-identify as Metis (see Etienne Rivard’s discussion paper).   3.  Three St. Onges (Antoine, Joseph and Toussaint) were signatories to the Penetanguishene Metis Petition of 1840, a historic moment in which the Metis declared themselves to be a distinct group of people and claimed rights based on that as well as the fact that they had proven their loyalty as part of the Militia. [Source: Louis Riel Institute, Lawrence Barkwell]     4. The Metis Nation of Ontario recognizes two St. Onge lineages. a. The first lineage is that of Joseph St. Onge / Letard (Metis) and Katrine Genevieve Vasseur  of the Oddawa First Nations.  b. The second lineage is that of Pierre Giroux   (documented Metis) and Marie Madeleine Louise St. Onge / Letard.
