Mathieu Da Costa was the first Black person known to have visited Canada. Historians know little about this period of his life except that he fought in the French-Algonquin war. More stories of Black Canadians. https://t.co/PZbYYaBTy8 #ByBlacks #MathieuDaCosta #Canada

DYK: #MathieuDaCosta is considered to have been the first person of African heritage to come to Canada in the 1600s? He was a translator, bridging culture between French explorers and Indigenous communities in Port Royal. #blackhistorymonth @HCDSB
