Marie-Anne Lagimodière was a force to be reckoned with. Her honeymoon was a four-month journey from Quebec to Pembina with a brigade of tough voyageurs, and she criss-crossed Canada with her fur trader husband during the early 1800s. Her legacy is enormous: within 10 years of her death, at the ripe old age of 95, she already had more than 630 direct descendants including Louis Riel, the Métis leader. 2004.
