Algonquin women in France

To further the relations between First Nations people and New France(Quebec). The policy of the government was to ship a number of Algonquin women to France and to educate them on the French language and the French way of life. Some stay in France, married French men and had children in France. Some of the children came to New France to been with their people. Most, were educated, brought back to New France and serve as agents for their Algonquin Nations. One of them was Francoise Grenier.
