Module 1- Black History -Mathieu da Costa (1604)
In Module 1, Nene Kwasi Kefele situates us in the historical and contextual realities of Black/African Canadians, including the story of Mathieu da Costa (1604)—an interpreter between the Mi’kmaq and the French, and one of the earliest recorded Black presences in what is now Canada. If this history exists, and is foundational—why isn’t it commonly taught, named, or visible in our public memory? What does it mean for our identities, our institutions, and our practices when stories like these are omitted or only partially told?
