Étienne Bâtard (Anthony) (died c. 1754 - 1760) was a Mi'kmaq warrior from Miramichi, New Brunswick, Canada.[1]
Bâtard fought in Father Le Loutre's War,[2] assisting the French with fighting against British forces.[3] He is believed to have killed Edward How at the Missaguash River in 1750,[4] as he is responsible for leading a trap in which multiple Micmacs impersonated French officers to join a conference. This resulted in him being seriously injured, and he died a few days later.[2]
He participated in fighting the British in the Battle at Chignecto and the Attack at Jeddore.
