Hi Tara,

I contacted the band office of the Nipissing tribe and they have no information concerning Gisis-Bahmahmaadjimiwin and they apparently never heard of her.

hello. i have been trying to find info on "Jeanne Nipissing" (my 11th gr grandmother), where did you find the document stating that jean Nicolet & her had an affair and their daughter was illigetimate? I am trying to find out info on this woman, her parents, siblings, etc...It has been my understanding based on everything i have researched that she was his first marriage (tho i cannot find legal documentation proving that either). do you have any documents on her? anything would be greatly appreciated! thank you!

thats disappointing! it could explain why i cannot find any documents on her, maybe, have they heard of jean nicolet and know of Euphrosine Madeline Nicolet? If they have, maybe they know of the mother.possible we've all got the name wrong? as i have seen Gisis Bahmahmaadjimiwin be referred to as many different names.. was hoping for some stories on her and her family before jean Nicolet came along.

Indeed, that would be great if people of the Nipissing tribe could tell us anything about Jean Nicolet, the years he spent with the tribe,his wife there, and his daughter!

Jeanne Nipissing was born about 1600. Some say she was born at Lake Nipissing. That may be so. There was no record keeping from that area till much later.
Champlain was in charge at this time and sent out two of his people to learn the languages of the “savages”.
Etienne Brule first arrived about 1610 in Quebec. Brule was one of the first Europeans to enter the territory of the Nipissing people. He ended up spending time with the Huron people in the Penetanguishene area.
Jean Nicollet arrived in 1620 and was sent to live with the “savages” at Alumettes Island in the Ottawa River for two years. The Nipissing territory at that time stretched from Montréal to the Ontario Manitoba border. It was about this time that France started to register the marriages of their people in New France. It did not recognize the marriage if it was to a native woman.
Nicollet was then sent to live with the people living around Lake Nipissing.
He had married Jeanne Nipissing in 1623. Nicollet was a religious man and was unlikely to live in sin and most likely took a wife in the custom of the country.
They had a daughter in 1628.
In 1629 Quebec is captured by the British and was returned in 1932. Nicollet stayed with the Nipissing’s till 1933. He made one more trip through Lake Nipissing in 1934.
New France did not register any marriages with native peoples till much later.
The only people that kept any records from that time were the Jesuits and they were in a different area at the time of Nicollet. There is no record from that time except for Jesuits’ references from Nicollet’s records which were lost.
Jeanne Nipissing was said to be the daughter of a chief. Each tribe of Indians were usually an extended family. Each of these family groups had there own chief or headman. There were many small tribes around Lake Nipissing at that time. So trying to identify Jeanne Nipissing is impossible. There is no record of her other than second hand information from documents from that era.
She will be a mystery.

My mothers family are descendants of Euphrosine Madelaine (Nicolet)Leblanc. My mother Liliane Chaput's parents are Prosper Chaput and Nellie Lapointe. We are related from the Lapointe side. I just want to find out how to get my Metis status, and how to apply for it knowing I'm related to Euphrosine Madeleine Nicolet.
Thanks Lizane
