"Mistress Madeleine" is quickly becoming standard viewing for Native Studies and Canadian History classes and rightly so. The film is part two of the NFB's "Daughters of the Country" Series, the first of which is "Ikwe". The plot shows Madeleine, a Metis woman involved with the white manager of the Hudson's Bay Company. The man, getting pressure from his superiors to dump the Halfbreed woman, has a tough decision: lose the woman he loves or the job he loves. The film features accurate props(ex.Red River Carts)and stunning cinematography. It also features some familiar faces to Canadian TV audiences: Peter Jordan from "It's a Living" plays the vicar and Tina Keeper from "North of 60" has a brief role also. I highly suggest this movie to anyone interested in Canadian history.

I liked this film because it accurately portrayed at how the Metis lived back in the 1850's. It was a classic Canadian made film with no negative stereotypes depicted. It had a good storyline to it while the plot thickened well as the story went on. However I did detect a hint of conflict in the story (true - all stories with plots and storylines have conflicts in them). But this conflict was based on the fact that racism towards the Metis woman who was married to that HBC employee was an unfortunate reality because if he really and truly loved her unconditionally, then he would not have allowed his employers to make negative and racist requests like that for him to "leave the halfbreed" as they put it. But he did so that meant that he loved his job more than he loved his Metis wife. I thought he made a big mistake on by coming back into Manitoba with his "new wife" from England. That would shatter anyone's world regardless if you are a husband or wife!! I don't think he ever loved her ............ actually I really have no clue as to why he married her!! He obviously never liked Metis women or even Native women for that matter. I guess its because he managed to sway her into believing that he "loved" her. She got suckered into it and then look what happened. He broke her heart big time ...... its just a nasty pattern that has repeated itself for the last 500 years, ever since when whites first imposed themselves on the First Nations, Inuit and Metis. Whites have always just used them to get what they want to their own crooked advantage and the way the Metis woman was used in this film was unfortunately no exception. Well............... anyways............... this is my views on this film.

Madeleine Duncan Brown (July 5, 1925 – June 22, 2002) was an American woman who claimed to be a longtime mistress of United States President Lyndon B. Johnson . [2] [3] [4] In addition to claiming that a son was born out of that relationship, Brown also implicated Johnson in a conspiracy to assassinate President John F. Kennedy . [2] [3] [4]
Brown described her background in her 1997 autobiography, Texas in the Morning: The Love Story of Madeleine Brown and President Lyndon Baines Johnson . [5] According to Brown, she was raised in a middle-class Catholic household in Dallas, Texas , where her father was a utility company supervisor and her mother was a housewife. [2] She stated that she attended W. H. Adamson High School . [5] Brown said at the age of 19 she married James Glynn Brown, a childhood sweetheart and neighborhood soda jerk , whom she divorced in 1955. [2] [5] [6] [7]
She described her husband as a veteran of the United States Marine Corps whose "war experiences had shattered his nerves, and turned him into a hopeless, physically abusive drunkard". [5] Brown said that he "was eventually institutionalized in a veteran's hospital for 'chronic paranoid schizophrenia'". [2] [5] According to Brown, she left her husband in 1948 while he was in the hospital, returning to Dallas with her two-month-old son, Jimmy Glynn Brown. [2] [6] [7] She said that she was subsequently hired that same year by Glenn Advertising and was promoted to media buyer whose responsibilities including purchasing radio advertising time. [2] [5]
On November 5, 1982, Brown spoke at a news conference held at the Dallas Press Club , alleging that she had an extramarital relationship with Johnson for almost twenty years. [3] [4] She said that the affair began in 1948 after a party at the Adolphus Hotel in Dallas and lasted until 1967. [3] [4] The Dallas Morning News also published the allegations under the headline "Dallas Woman Claims She Was LBJ's Lover", noting that spokespeople for Lady Bird Johnson and the Johnson family rejected the claims. [3] [4] Brown's statement, in which she said she wanted to "clear the record", came three weeks after published reports of an affair between Johnson and Alice Glass. [3]
On June 18, 1987, Brown's second son, Steven Mark Brown (December 27, 1950 – September 28, 1990), filed a $10.5 million lawsuit against Lady Bird Johnson in a Texas district court alleging that the former first lady and two friends of President Johnson, Jesse Kellam of Austin and Jerome T. Ragsdale of Dallas, had conspired to deprive him of a share of the Johnson estate. [6] [7] [nb 1] His suit claimed: "My legal birthrights have been violated and a conspiracy was formed to deprive me of my legal heirship." [6] [7] The suit included an affidavit from Madeleine Brown, alleging that she met President Johnson in 1948 at a social function within a Dallas hotel, then had an affair with him that lasted from 1948 until 1969. [6] [7]
According to her affidavit, Ragsdale, a deceased Dallas attorney, was assigned to assist with legal issues regarding her pregnancy and later claimed to be the child's father in order to shield Johnson from negative publicity. [6] [7] Betty Tilson, the press secretary for Lady Bird Johnson, was quoted as stating: "We're convinced the whole thing is made-up, frankly." [7] Tilson indicated that close associates of the Johnson family were not familiar with the name "Steven Mark Brown" nor was there any record of correspondence or visitation from him within the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum . [7] She also stated that no one she talked to knew Ragsdale. [7]
The August 5, 1987 issue of People magazine detailed additional claims made by Madeleine and Steven Brown. [2]
In the 1940s, the Johnsons owned a radio station in Austin, KTBC , run by Jesse Kellam. [2] [8] Madeleine Brown claimed that she attended a KTBC reception in 1948 while working for a Dallas advertising agency and was introduced to Johnson through Kellam. [2] She reported that Johnson flirted with her during this initial encounter and that she was "dazzled" by him. [2] According to Brown, Kellam immediately asked her to another reception three weeks later at the Adolphus Hotel. [2]
It was at that meeting, she said, that her long affair with Johnson began after he invited her up to his apartment in the hotel. [2] Brown said that Johnson insisted the affair be kept secret, and she alleged that Kellam functioned as a go-between who arranged for Johnson and her to meet. [2] People magazine reported that she claimed her relationship with Johnson was " purely physical " and had discovered that he had other mistresses. [2] According to Brown, she told Johnson in April 1950 that she was pregnant and he assured her he would provide for her needs. [2]
She claimed that Kellam told her a few days later that she would be contacted by attorney Jerome Ragsdale. [2] Brown alleged that after the birth of Steven in 1950, Ragsdale provided her with "a six-room house for $15,000, complete with a live-in maid", and paid the various charge cards he supplied to her. [2] She said her physician told her that he would note her husband, James Glynn Brown, as the father. [2]
According to Brown, she continued to meet with Johnson throughout the 1950s and 1960s. [2] She told People that for five years, at Kellam's urging, she had a " paper marriage " to a Dallas businessman with whom she never lived. [2] She said that years after they divorced, she was told by a friend that the man had committed suicide. [2] According to Brown, she was on her way to see Johnson in Austin when she heard about the assassination of Kennedy over the radio, then turned around. [2]
She said that a few weeks later Kellam instructed her to meet the new President of the United States in their usual place. [2] Brown told People that her sexual relationship with Johnson abruptly ended in 1967 after she was badly injured in a car accident in which her son, Steven, was at the wheel. [2] She said she had one last meeting with Johnson in 1969 at the Shamrock Hotel in Houston, Texas , in which they had a two-hour discussion which she described as their first "real conversation". [2] Brown said that in 1973 Kellam telephoned her to say that Johnson had died. [2]
Brown stated that she was hospitalized after suffering a heart attack in February 1987 and, expecting to die, called Steven to her bedside in order to confess hiding the true identity of his father from him. [2] According to People , despite the name of his mother's first husband on his birth certificate, Steven had been "wracked by uncertainty" about who was his true father and "had come to suspect a lawyer friend of the family was actually his father". [2] Steven's mother said that she had no love letters from Johnson and that the few people who could corroborate her story were dead. [2]
According to Brown, she came forward with the paternity claim to assist Steven in claiming his inheritance. [2] Discussing the purpose of the lawsuit, Steven said: "In a public forum, sooner or later the truth comes out. That's what's important to me. I want my last name changed to Johnson, the way it ought to be." [2] He maintained that he wanted money from the former first lady in order to provide for two nephews. [2]
Shortly after the interview, entertainment writer Harry Haun said that Brown's claims in People "stirred up such a hornet's nest of book publishers and movie producers that the woman will indeed write a book about". [9] Haun wrote that literary agent Scott Meredith had been enlisted to handle the book and film rights. [9]
In 1989, Steven Brown's suit against Lady Bird Johnson was dismissed after he failed to show in court. [4] [10] He died in 1990, at age 39, [10] from lymphatic cancer . [2]
After the paternity claims, Brown made other allegations suggesting that there was a conspiracy to assassinate Kennedy, including the charge that Johnson had foreknowledge of a plot. [4] [11] [12] In 1988, she briefly appeared in investigative columnist Jack Anderson 's syndicated program, American Expose: Who Murdered JFK , and said: "In the fall of 1963 I was in the Carousel Club with other advertising people, and Jack Ruby was saying that Lee Harvey Oswald had been in the club and he had been bragging that he had taken a shot at Major General Edwin Walker ". [11] Interviews with Brown implicating Johnson also appeared in an episode of A Current Affair in February 1992, and in a 2003 episode of Nigel Turner's documentary The Men Who Killed Kennedy , titled "The Guilty Men." [11] [12]
