I've been researching my uncle's Trudeau's of Michigan website , specifically my native background , didn't know what I was looking for so I enlisted an aboriginal in Ontario to look over the website , She chose the letter M in the A-Z listings and immediately found something .
Surname: Manitouabeouich [[ Abenaki/ Algonquin First Nations) Manitiouabeouich --means Great spirit /was a Shaman[[spirital leader)
Outchibahabanoukoueau [[wife of Roch Manitouabeouich) Huron First Nations and daughter of Huron Chief
The marriage of their daughter, Marie Olivier
to Martin Prevost was the first recorded between
a European and a north american native.
Children
Marie OLIVIER - Algonquin living with Huron
I knew my French Canada background but was certain I was Native American , but as it turns out I'm aboriginal/First Nation .
Now my next task will be to see if we blended in to become Metis , my ancestors above were in the mid to late 1600's . To say I'm pleased would be an understatement
