Black Canadians. Black people have lived in Canada since the beginnings of transatlantic settlement. Although historically very few have arrived directly from their ancestral homeland in the continent of Africa, the term "African Canadian" became increasingly popular in the 1990s to identify all descendants of Africa regardless of their place of birth. 4, record 1, English, - Black%20Canadian

Canadiens noirs. Les Noirs vivent au Canada depuis les débuts de la colonisation transatlantique. Bien que très peu d'entre eux soient arrivés directement de leur terre ancestrale, sur le continent africain, le terme «Afro-Canadien» devient de plus en plus populaire au cours des années 90 pour désigner tous les descendants des Africains, indépendamment de leur lieu de naissance. 7, record 1, French, - Canadien%20noir
