Very informative, I really enjoyed this course. The perspectives presented were eye-opening, and it was nice to be able to learn more about Indigenous peoples and what they have endured on their land.

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.

This was a great introduction/foundational course to understanding Indigenous History in Canada. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in learning about the "true" history of Canada. Amazing work!!

I am so glad that I was able to take the time and complete this course. We are far too undereducated in Canada on Aboriginal/Indigenous history and realities of life within a colonial system of government.

This course has completely changed how I view Canada and has made me even more of an activist for Indigenous rights, respect for the land, and respect for all peoples living within our borders. Thank you!

I wish this would have been taught in the 70's & 80's when I was in High School. We need to understand North America Indigenous community, culture and way of life has been forever changed by the settlers.

Excellent course. The inclusion of art to enhance the learning concepts was very effective. Interesting material and great introduction to a history of Canada that most of us never learned in grade school.

Wonderful course! Learned a lot, enjoyed the stories, art and activism and was at times very shocked at some of the history. Can't wait to explore more indigenous courses and teachings in the coming years.

Amazing. Incredible overview of the lasting effects of colonization on Indigenous people. I have a much deeper understanding of Canadian history that the public education system did not give me. Thank you.

Ce cours est éclairant sur la réalité des premières nations. J'ai beaucoup apprécié son contenu et son rythme. J'ai été touché par le côté artistique par la musique et les oeuvres expliquées par l'artiste.

Very Informative course indeed! I felt that I learned a lot about a culture very under represented in our society. It allowed me to expand current knowledge, and truly understand the other side of history!

This course filled in my narrow understanding and knowledge of indigenous history and, especially, urban issues and how the effects of residential schools have impacted so many generations into the future.

Well written, interesting course. All Canadians should take this course. It should be in the school systems, and used by all organizations as an aid in understanding our differences and our similarities.

I am so glad I found this course! I immigrated to Canada and didn't know anything about the Native people of Canada. This course has really a lot of history and modern days of Indigenous people. Thank you!

This was an excellent course! I learned so much. I know it's just the tip of the iceberg in terms of how much more I need to learn, but what a great introductory course to Indigenous Canada. Thank you!

This year Canada celebrated our first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. This course provides a format that will educate and guide you towards a better understanding of the challenges involved.

indly for offering this course, it was highly informative and I really enjoyed it. My only critique would be the way the questions on the quiz are asked. Its a bit confusing in its wording. Chi Miigwetch
