Pierre Parenteau (c. 1814 - after 1886) was a politician in Manitoba. He was a member of the Convention of Twenty-Four and Convention of Forty[1] and served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba. 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.[2] Parenteau was sentenced to 7 years in the Manitoba penitentiary (Stony Mountain)[3] and reportedly died shortly after his release.[2]
It is also believed that Parenteau played an important role in organizing resistance in Manitoba against the Fenian raids.[1]
