Summary: By 1929, Canada's west, which had been home to generations of Mťis, was taken over by the railroads and new settlers. The Mťis became a forgotten people, relegated to eking out a living as best they could. In Places Not Our Own, Rose l'Esperance, a Mťis, is determined that her children will have a normal life and an education. Her hopes reside in her daughter Flora, but the harshness of their situation culminates in a devastating and dramatic event. This film is part of the Daughters of the Country series.
