• Misc.: 1. Pierre Volant / Vollant was the great-grandson of explorer Louis Jolliet and his father was captain of the Marie-Charlotte. While serving as a clerk in Ilets-Jeremie, Pierre Volant fathered children by several First Nations women. He later married the French daughter of the seigneur and returned to France. His Metis children remained behind and it was his son Laurent Volant who carried on the Volant name among the Montagnais.  2. 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).
