Today we are going to listen to the story of Marie-Anne Lagimodière as told by Ruth Stewart Verger, with songs and music by Chris MacLean & Charlie Sohmer

Marie-Anne Lagimodière (née Gaboury), settler (born 2 August 1780 in Maskinongé, QC; died 14 December 1875 in St. Boniface, MB). Marie-Anne Lagimodière accompanied her fur-trader husband, Jean-Baptiste Lagimodière, to what is now Western Canada. She was one of the first women of European descent in the area and they became some of the first settlers in Red River. Marie-Anne Lagimodière was grandmother of Louis Riel, the Métis leader of the Red River Resistance. This is her story as told by Ruth Stewart Verger with songs and music by Chris MacLean & Charlie Sohmer. Ruth Stewart Verger is a founding member of the Ottawa Story-Tellers, and is a wonderful, interesting interpreter and teller of stories!
