‘Laventure’/ Bonaventure Parisien Jr. [opposing?]

Laderoute reported that Laventure was in William Dease’s party that went to meet with Riel at the barricade (27 October 1869). According to Laderoute, “La Venture Parisien was one of them wild and untamed, worse than an Indian with different colored feathers in his hair—real savage ways as signs of warfare.”[63] A number of Dease’ men afterwards switched allegiance to the provisional government, possibly Parisien among them.

Bonaventure Parisien Jr. was Métis, of Pointe Coupée, lot 60, family #3841 (born c. 1808, to Claude Bonaventure ‘Bonavan’ Parisien Sr. and Isabelle ‘Lizette’ [Saulteaux]; died 1873/ 1874), married Marguerite (Saulteaux, born 1810 at Red Lake).

[63] Laderoute cited in Barkwell, “Personalities,” 3.
