In Road Allowance Era, Echo's story picks up again when she travels
back in time to 1885. The government has not fulfilled its promise
of land for the Metis, and many flee to the Northwest. As part of
the fallout from the Northwest Resistance, their advocate and
champion Louis Riel is executed. As new legislation corrodes Metis
land rights, and unscrupulous land speculators and swindlers take
advantage, many Metis settle on road allowances and railway land,
often on the fringes of urban centres. For Echo, the plight of her
family is apparent. Burnt out of their home in Ste. Madeleine, they
make their way to Rooster Town, a shanty community on the southwest
edges of Winnipeg. In this final instalment of her story, Echo is
reminded of the strength and resilience of her people, forged
through the loss and pain of the past, as she faces a triumphant
future.
