A French trader in the employ of Sublette & Campbell and who was met by
Maximilian in the winter village of the Mandans in 1833.

He was met by the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1805 as a resident among the

He came originally from Canada. His first wife was a half breed Arikara, named
Josette; his children by this marriage were Josette, mother of Maggie Dawson and
wife of Andrew Dawson; another daughter, who died at Ft. Clark, and a son who
lived among the Arikara, as one of their number, and was killed by an Arikara,
Bears' Ears, leader of the band of "Strong Hearts," whose duty was that of camp
police. Bears' Ears fled to the Sioux after the murder aud was afterward
employed as U. S. government scout at old Ft. Lincoln. Garreau's second wife was
a full blood Mandan, and her son was Pierre Garreau, a full blood Indian.
