- Title
NEITHER INDIGENOUS, NOR SETTLERS: THE PLACE OF AFRICANS IN CANADA'S 'FOUNDING NATIONS' MODEL.
- Authors
NELSON, CHARMAINE A.
- Abstract
The author argues that Africans should have a place among those remembered and celebrated as founders of the nation of Canada. The association between Canadian national identity and the British and French empires and the enslavement of the African and indigenous people in Canada are noted. The author also mentions Mathieu da Costa as the first known black visitor to Canada in 1605 and discusses an advertisement concerning the escape of an enslaved black woman named Cash in Québec, Québec, in 1779.
