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 is a great introductory course full of information that we all should have received growing up. My hope is that younger people growing up in Canada will have access to this knowledge earlier in life!

As a Canadian who grew up in the US, I had very little awareness of the Indigenous history of Canada. This course presented an open and sincere perspective on Indigenous history and life in Canada today.

I wish I had been taught this in my public school education. I have been very ignorant and as a society we all need to know how colonization has harmed indigenous people. Thank you for this information.

As an indigenous Cree (Nehiyawak) individual, this meant a lot to me to revisit some stories and history, while learning so many new facts about our beautiful people across so many different communities!

I am so glad I took this course, it helped me learn so much about the culture, traditions and its people.

Fantastic course period. This course should be taught in every school and university. It should be a core subject and put into current curriculum.
Thanks for the course, speakers were excellent.

This course was incredibly powerful. It was an excellent way to introduce me into the Indigenous culture and I cannot believe how much is NOT taught in schools in Canada. I highly recommend this course.

Every Canadian should know the history, values and culture of all of Canada. My schooling left a gap in that around Indigenous Canada and this course filled a void. UofA Native Studies did a great job!

Very educational and informative. This was a refresher of what I already knew about the Basics on Indigenous Canada but, has given me more insight to more history and current culture of Indigenous Canada

Great course, it covered such a wide variety of topics. I learned so much about thing I had never even heard about. I have such a different outlook afterwards than I did with what I was taught in school.

Fantastic resource for those who wish to learn the alternate history, the true history not taught in school. It offers the learner a glimpse into history and the past and leaves us wanting to learn more.

This course was a perfect gateway to learning more about Indigenous culture. What I most valued was first-person narrative and perspective from Indigenous educators, artists, and experts in their field.

I learned a great deal of history, perspective, culture, art, indigenous society and indigenous economy that I did not know about. The teachings on the Indian Act and Residential Schools is very timely.

This course is a wonderful first step to introduce the diversity of Indigeneity in Canada. I will be recommending it to others to help them get started on their journeys as allies to Indigenous peoples.

It is a good, designed and structured course. All the material that was given is very relevant to each chapter. It gives enough knowledge to understand all the issues about Indigenous Peoples in Canada.
