First off, this looks like your first GA submission, so thank you for writing it and submitting it for review!  Overall, I can't see anything that doesn't comply with WP:GACR, so these are all just suggestions for how to improve the article above and beyond that.  RoySmith (talk) 19:24, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

Consider adding {{infobox person}}
Take a look at https://www-jstor-org.wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/stable/40071933?searchText=Matooskie (if you don't have access, you can get it via WP:TWL.  There's some additional information about the subject that you may find useful.
The Dictionary of Canadian Biography says "they had as many as seven children".  Do you know why they equivocate with "as many"?  Was there some uncertainty to how many children there were?
Matooskie later married Pierre Le Blanc was this another à la façon du pays, or a Catholic wedding?
@RoySmith: Thank you for taking on this review, I greatly appreciate this.
I have now added the infobox; please let me know if I have done this correctly
That was a very interesting read, thank you for linking this to me (I did create this page before I had Wikipedia Library access, so I probably should scour more material there). Wasn't best sure how to integrate this into the article so I've included it in the Legacy section - let me know if this reads well, or if my summary is correct.
I'm not sure why there is the equivocation there tbh, as no other source seems to doubt this. I can add in the quotes from them if it helps, but I can't seem to find any sources that say there were any more than secen children.
This was an wedding in a Catholic church from what I can see, I should have made that clearer. Thanks for pointing this out.
Let me know if there is anything else I can do to improve the article!  GnocchiFan (talk) 13:59, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
Looks good, and the Legacy section is a nice addition.  This is good to go, thanks again for submitting it. RoySmith (talk) 14:42, 14 December 2023 (UTC)


### Matooskie
It was mentioned that her second husband Pierre Le Blanc died in a boat accident along with some of her children, but did 2 or 3 children die in that incident? And were those children from her first marriage or the second? 35.131.37.50 (talk) 19:05, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

The article says her father "left for Lower Canada in 1801 without Matooskie, placing her and her sister under the care of another NWC fur trader".  What about her mother?  Did she go with her father?  Stay with the daughters?  Leave earlier? Minturn (talk) 20:08, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
