Coming together as Red River Métis people in what is known as Tio'tia:ke/Mooniyang/ Montreal, Quebec, we find ourselves in a microcosm of the broader settler context of so-called Canada. As part of the “diaspora”, we share common experiences - striving to live as good neighbours and fulfill our responsibilities as guests, living our values and relationality with the people, lands, and waters where we find ourselves. We also have unique and personal journeys that have guided our decisions and feelings living outside the homeland. Here we add to our presentation at Mawachihitotaak 2024 and discussion of diaspora in the East through our map of collective mobilities.
