Places Not Our Own plot

By 1929, western Canada, home to generations of Métis, had been taken over by the railroads and new settlers. The Métis were a forgotten people, relegated to a best-ever existence. In “Places Not Our Own,” Rose l'Esperance, a Métis, is determined that her children will have a normal life and an education. Her hopes are pinned on her daughter Flora, but the brutality of their situation culminates in a devastating and dramatic event.
