Indigenous Black Canadians

Indigenous Black Canadians is a term for people in Canada of African descent who have roots in Canada going back several generations. The term has been proposed to distinguish them from Black people with more recent immigrant roots.[1][better source needed][2][page needed] Popularized by Black Canadian leaders such as Rinaldo Walcott, Walter Borden, George Elliott Clarke, and Rocky Jones, the earliest use of the term goes back to the 1970s when Canada began receiving a large influx of immigrants from the Caribbean.[3]
