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.

Lots of great information that filled in many gaps of knowledge about Canada's true history and the devastating impacts of colonialism on Indigenous peoples over many hundreds of years.

This course is an excellent overview of select topics and a springboard for further study. Thank you for offering this free course. Should be required participation for all Canadians.

This course covers a lot of important material and organizes it well. Guest speakers were well chosen. I would love a follow-up course based on module 12, contemporary indigenous art.

Thank you for the opportunity to "fill in the blanks" of what our public school systems failed to teach us. I really enjoyed the interviews and addition of art to accompany each lesson.

very informative. A great overview of the history, struggles and triumphs of Canadian (and North American) first nations. Also, a great reminder that here is more that we can do!
Thanks!

I really enjoyed it, as I felt that I learnt something, that I was exposed to a new view point and gained a small insight into Indigenous history and modern, existing issues in Canada.

Wonderful course. Very informative. But please, should you ever redo the videos, please ask Tracy Bear to keep her hands behind her back. Her hand movements were extremely distracting.

I think this course - or others like it - should be mandatory for all Canadians. It is important to hear FIrst Nations voices sharing their history, their culture and their experience.
