BUILDING HOUSES

Mid summer 1828. Newfoundland is a British Colony maintaining undefined treaty rights with the French along the north coast where residents are labelled squatters by the crown.

Shanawdithit has been taken from her home and is being kept at a plantation house in St. John’s by a European explorer staking his reputation on her cooperation.

In the Straits, young Suzanna Williams is sent to live with her grandmother Hosanna while an Indigenous guide named Jack is tasked with searching for Beothuk on the Great Northern Peninsula.
