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 eye opening on so many levels. I see things in a much more empathetic way and will promote this course to everyone I am in contact with. This should be mandatory in all Canadian high schools.

Excellent à tous les niveaux ! Juste quelques problems pour des questions insérées dans certaines vidéos ces dernières semaines, on arrive pas à lire correctement les questions et surtout d'y répondre !

The course provides a wealth of knowledge to learn about Indigenous Canada. Highly recommended although some of the videos have technical issues, so it is best to download and read the course material.

This course is a great start to getting a better understanding of the history of Indigenous peoples with regards interactions with European settlers and Government. Found it informative and valuable.

These notions should be taught in any Canadian HS to be honest, or at least some part of it. That was a good commitment to complete the 12 modules, but so much worth it, I would dare to say, essential.

I enjoyed this course immensely. There was a lot of great information and thought-provoking material. It does serve to encourage further learning of Indigenous culture, history and colonialism effects.

Set up perfectly to educate and introduced Indigenous concepts not taught in traditional Canadian educational systems. Great way to learn at your own pace and point you into a variety of topical areas.

This course has given me a better understanding of the history and culture of the Indigenous people.
I strongly support the idea of educating the younger generation in elementary or high school as well.

Very interesting and activating. Makes you think about all the good things that existed in Canada befor the Europeans arrived and all the bad behaviours from the EUropeans. Such a pity we never learn.

To truly heal as a nation, we must all walk the path of reconciliation. The first step is education. Gratitude to University of Alberta for lighting the way by unpacking Canada's complicated history.

This course was so impactful. Each module could be made into a course of its own. I would gladly take them if offered. I learned so much and gained new appreciation for Canada's Indigenous People.
