Hi,
 
I hope someone has information to share with me. I am trying to find my ancestors 
from " La Petite Nation". My Great Great Grand Father was Jean-Baptiste Bernard(Algonquin) 
and was married to Angelique Simon. I think that her brothers name was Antoine Simon. 
Jean-Baptiste and Angelique lived also in Pembroke in 1888 but in 1881 they were 
living in Petite Nation North.

His Native Name was J. Bapt. Sakanowekamotch. Originaly a Nipissing Algonquin. 
Jean-Baptiste Bernard was the brother in law of Amable Whiteduck (Canard Blanc). 
Jean Baptiste was married to Angelique Simon, daughter of Simon Kanawato (The one 
who gave his name to Lac Simond).
 
I know my grand father told me that his father's sister use to live around Maniwaki, 
her name was Alma Bernard? 
 
Mabey someone heard of Jean-Baptiste Bernard as he was apparently a very known 
canoe builder. 
 
I would greatly appreciate you help .... 
 
Daniel Bernard
