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. 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 Métis leader Louis Riel.
