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.

An eye opener for every Canadian to learn of our shared past with First Nations Peoples. Many topics that were not taught in elementary or high school were learned here with this course. Thank you!

I really enjoyed educating myself on Indigenous Culture and a true history of Canada that I really didn't learn in school. This course has great notes, videos and art lessons to make learning easy.

This course was amazing in providing an overview to Indigenous Peoples of Canada. The only complaint is that the course ended and I feel as though I know so little. I would highly recommend to all.

Excellent. Five out of five stars in every way. Pace, content, format, accessibility, relatability, everything was top notch. This should be required in all Canadian high schools or universities.

This course was excellent and I think it should be part of the school curriculum. I also think every Canadian politician and decision maker should be required to successfully complete this course.

Excellent course that finally taught the true history of indigenous people. This is the knowledge that was never taught to us in school. Thank you for creating this course and making it available.

wonderful and interesting course. Of particular inters to me was the more western Canada perspective as most of my previous learning on this subject had been based on Eastern Canada perspectives.

I like the option where we can work at our own pace which is a huge positive on this course, and as an Aboriginal myself I learned a lot more about my culture than the time I spent in high school.

This course opened my eyes to a lot of information that is so important to keep teaching and so we do not erase the past or stay in the past.
Thank you to the instructors the course was well done!

Important information well presented. (Side note. I worked with the 1491's at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and was pleased to find them represented in the material.) Thank you for this gift.

Great course, it really changed how I view Canada's relationship with Indigenous peoples. There was just so much i didn't know and so much that I had been raised to believe that was not factual.
