  • "Set in different periods of Canadian history, the four films comprising the "Daughters of the country" series follow the lives of four Metis women and their reactions to the unthinking and bigoted acts of others. The films are Part One: "Ikwe" and "Mistress Madeleine" and Part Two: "Places not our own" and "The wake"."@en
  • "The Wake is the story of a Metis woman and a well-meaning officer of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in the 1980's. Joan thinks that Jim is different from his fellow officers, more sympathetic and understanding. At first, their love flourishes. Then, on a dark winter night on a frozen northern lake, something happens that will change both their lives, forever."@en

  • "Places not our own is the story of Rose Lesperance arriving in the prairie town of Napinka in 1929. Forced to live as squatters on the road allowance at the edge of town, the Lesperances struggle to keep their dignity. But they are Metis, and the townsfolk cannot see deeper than the color of their skin. Rose's hopes and good intentions are no match for the pervasive prejudice of white society. No matter how "good' the Lesperances are, they'll never be good enough. But Rose's strong spirit will not be crushed."@en
