I majored in Native Studies during my BA 20 years ago, but I still learned a lot from this course. The units on art, gender roles, and Indigenous people in urban centers were especially interesting.

This class is a MUST. You will end up with a clear understanding of the First Nations peoples culture and challenges. Only then will one be able to make an informed decision on the matter.

This course should be mandatory for all Canadians. I have learned so much about Indigenous culture and am bothered that much of what was presented in the course was completely new to me.
