Leah Dorion and her aunts Isabelle Impey and Elsie Sanderson can follow the roots of their Saskatchewan family back 10 generations, all the way back to the ville du Québec in the 1600s. In the process, Leah discovered the great nobility of her Métis ancestors, who not only migrated across Canada, but travelled widely through the United States. These women relate the details of a complicated lineage that has seen some branches of the family become treaty indians, while others did not; the mixing of bloodlines as diverse as Cree, French, Ijibwa, Yankton Sioux and Iowa; the tale of a First World War vet who was removed from treaty when he returned from the front.
