Despite previous work (primarily centered in Eastern Canada) Black heritages sites remain understudied and poorly represented in Canadian scholarship, an issue addressed by sessions at the 2019 and 2024 CAA’s which highlighted the important, but limited, work that had occurred in this space. Through the identification and study of Black heritage sites, papers in this session highlight the important work that has occurred in the intervening years to amplify stories of the Black communities and individuals who are part of Canadian history and demonstrate that archaeological study of Black heritage sites can counter histories of erasure, both in the past and present, through the preservation and celebration of heritage sites. The heightened need for this work is underscored by growing threats to Black heritage sites, which increasingly face pressures from development, social dynamics, and revisionist historical narratives that risk erasing these communities and their history. By investigating Black heritage sites across the country, archaeologists have the opportunity to tell historical stories in a way that includes stories from the many Black individuals and communities who have contributed to our modern identities and to create historical narratives in which these communities see themselves represented.
