Good Morning #Canada
In May of 1733, the government of Quebec City upheld the right of Canadians to hold Indigenous slaves. This decision, though controversial, reflects the broader practice of #Slavery in New France and later Canada, particularly the enslavement of Indigenous people, alongside enslaved Africans. This serves as a reminder that Canada was complicit in the practice of slavery until abolished in 1834.
