Why this travel diary

Rooted in a tumultuous context in which women’s voices refused to be silenced, from the Val d’Or tragedy to the tragic death of Joyce Echaquan and the still vivid memory of Indigenous residential schools, the tour was designed as an essential act of recognition: to meet with the Native Peoples with whom we share the land, on their land.

This diary tells a story. It does not claim to cover everything, but it sets down faithfully what was shared — and sketches a few paths forward.

It is offered freely, in French and English, so that it may circulate, feed conversations and inspire commitments.

“We are ready for our Paix des Braves”, we heard in Lac-Simon. This is a call to negotiate a future where sovereignty is expressed in the plural.
Will we have the courage to respond?
