📅 Dates: June 2–27, 2026 📍 Location: Mila, Montréal 🔗 Related: miadisabelle/Etuaptmumk-RSM#180 (Running Wolf relational pathway)
Context
Part of Phase 1: Listen from the relational preparation pathway. Attending Mila in-person learning is an opportunity to be present in the spaces where Running Wolf's work lives — without an agenda.
Desired Outcome
Guillaume attends as a learner, absorbing the ecosystem, understanding what problems the community cares about, and building familiarity with the space.
Current Reality
- 2026 FLAIR cohort applications are closed
- This in-person block may have open attendance or audit options — needs verification
- No prior contact with Mila community
Action Steps
- Verify registration / attendance requirements
- Check if open audit or observer attendance is possible
- Register if available
- Arrange travel/accommodation (Shawinigan to Montreal)
- Prepare by reading Running Wolf primary papers beforehand
Structural Tension
Resolve tension between wanting to engage with Indigenous AI work and needing to show up first as a listener, not a pitcher.
