• Misc.:  1.  The first western Canadian officially recognized Metis Ouellette  couple were French Canadian Joseph Ouellette and his Assiniboine wife Angelique.  2.  Variations of the Ouellette surname include: Ouellet and the rather uncommon Wellet.  3. The earliest Ouellet that I’ve seen with a connection to the Montagnais is Joseph Ouellet who married Marie / Demerise Savard in 1884. 4. 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).
