Pierre Parenteau (c. 1814 – after 1886) [1] was a politician in Manitoba. He was a member of the Convention of Twenty-Four and Convention of Forty [2] and served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba. [3] He was also a member of Louis riels provisional government.
Biographical details about Parenteau are uncertain because his name was a common one in the area. It is believed by some sources that he is the same Pierre Parenteau who was convicted for his actions during the North-West Rebellion of 1885. [3] Parenteau was sentenced to 7 years in the Manitoba penitentiary ( Stony Mountain) [1] and reportedly died shortly after his release. [3]
It is also believed that Parenteau played an important role in organizing resistance in Manitoba against the Fenian raids. [2]
