Description

Ben and Charity Muldoon are 15-year-old twins who find themselves in the midst of politically charged events in the Saskatchewan River Valley in 1885. One day| as Ben is walking through a ravine| he encounters a Cree boy named Red Eagle| who quickly becomes his friend after a hair-raising rescue.

Ben eventually discovers that a confrontation between the North-West Mounted Police and the Natives| led by Louis Riel and Gabriel Dumont| is imminent. As events unfold| Ben and Red Eagle witness the struggles of the Metis and Cree for recognition and the failed efforts to negotiate a settlement that ultimately lead to tragedy and war. Caught between his loyalty to Red Eagle and the authority of a Hudson’s Bay Company uncle he has never trusted| Ben must decide where his allegiance lies. But as he soon learns| when it comes to friendship| there is no taking sides.
