  • 3. Several Montours fought in the Metis Resistance including: Abraham Montour Sr. (m. Marie Page), Abraham Montour Jr. (m. Lucie Parenteau), Alexandre Montour, Bernard Montour (m. Marguerite Smith), Jean-Baptiste Montour (m. Christine Parenteau), Joseph Montour (x 2), Julie Montour (m. Andre Sansregret dit Pontbriand), Marie Madeleine Montour (m.

The resistance fighters were defeated and Canada’s federal government asserted its control over the area.    [Source: Veterans and Families of the 1885  Northwest Resistance, Lawrence Barkwell, Louis Riel Institute].
