What did marguerite monet riel do for a living?
Thank you for this question. The research gave me more knowledge of the conflicts in Canada when it was forming.





"Marguerite (Monet Riel). . . She took on the all responsibility of a plains wife: Gathering fire wood, cooking, cleaning and struggling on very little money and food. She was alone most of the time with her children, while Louis was fighting for rights of their people. Louis had a most devoted wife who worshipped him but feared the harm that could befall their family at the hands of his enemies."





11/22 ADDITION: Parentheses above including maiden %26amp; married name, and the following:





"In June 1884, Marguerite (%26amp; children) accompanied Louis to Batoche, Saskatchewan, in spite of the looming conflict. She was at her husband's side during the battle of 1885 until Riel surrendered May 15th, to Middleton's scouts. Cold and hungry. Marguerite and her children hid in caves near Batoche while awaiting word from Louis. Instead Louis' brother Joseph appeared and took Marguerite and her children to live with Riel's mother in St. Boniface, MB."





She was a mother and a wife, and died when she was 26 yrs old.
