Thanks for teaching me a lot about indigenous history in Canada. I am inspired to learn more. I just finished Chelsea Vowel’s book, Indigenous Writes and I’m currently reading the summary of the RCAP.

Beautifully put together - shines light on the issues that ARE NOT taught in the grade school curriculum for Alberta! Would highly recommend every one take this course to educate themselves on these topics.

Excellent course and I learned so much. One thing is that the course needs to be updated particularly in light of recent indigenous events in Canada. Hopefully the faculty will do that in the near future.
