Joséphine, une jeune métisse de treize ans, décrit dans son journal intime les faits marquants de sa vie à Batoche pendant une période sombre de l'histoire du Canada. Joséphine raconte les espoirs et les déceptions des Métis qui, menés par Louis Riel, tentent d'obtenir la reconnaissance de leurs droits. La jeune fille témoigne des événements troublants ayant mené à la bataille de Batoche et des conséquences tragiques qui en ont découlées. Inquiète du sort de ceux qu'elle aime, elle fait face aux épreuves avec beaucoup de sagesse et de sang-froid.

Tension grips Batoche, Saskatchewan in 1885. Many Métis have moved here after the 1870 Riel Rebellion in Manitoba. But life in Batoche is difficult. The Métis seem to be losing their way of life. They want title to their land, but the government has delayed it for years, and talk of a second uprising is in the air. Thirteen-year-old Josephine finds herself torn over the Resistance: she is worried for her brother who is eager to fight; for her father who prefers a peaceful solution; and for Louis Riel, the leader whose is trying to preserve the Métis way of life. Will her community be able to survive this unrest?
