Northwest Resistance

Echo Desjardins finds herself in a period of turmoil. The bison are gone, settlers from the East are arriving daily, and the Mtis and First Nations of the Northwest face hunger and uncertainty as their traditional way of life is threatened. The Canadian government has ignored their petitions, but hope rises when Louis Riel returns to help. However, battles between Canadian forces and the Mtis and their allies lead to defeat at Batoche. Through it all, Echo gains new perspectives about where she came from and what the future may hold. (From Highwater Press)
