Proclaiming Our Roots

With over 400 years of African diasporic presence in Canada, relationships between Black and Indigenous Peoples offered a form of resistance against colonial oppression and afforded these communities an opportunity for survival. This project aims to create written, visual and narrative archives of the geographies, histories, and contemporary realities of mixed Indigenous-Black people in Canada.
