“I anticipate that [lieutenant governor] will have a good deal of trouble, and it will require considerable management to keep those wild people quiet.” –—Prime Minister John A. MacDonald (1869, at commencement of negotiations with Louis Riel)

Métis author Tara Gereaux dedicates her new novel Wild People Quiet to her late grandfather. It's a fitting dedication as main character Florence Banks mirrors the actions of grandfather Clarence: They both hid their Métis identity. “I really wanted to write this book to understand the circumstances that my grandfather was living in when he was a young man,” said Gereaux. “I don't know exactly when he might have made that decision to live as a white man, but I imagine it was probably when he was just a young man starting out on his own.”

I’m making this post because I don’t what else to do.
I’m looking for James Mast, a son of Moses Mast (my dear friend and mentor who recently passed away). If you are James or you know how to get in touch with him, please contact me (jmb.mx/contact) , as I want to make sure James can attend the memorial service (even if it has to be remote) but also for some other important issues.
FYI, James was last known to be in Cornwall, Ontario (see https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/sixties-scoop-immigration-1.7541323 ) , but I haven’t had any luck tracking him down.
