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.

Every settler Canadian needs to take this course. I learned more in Module 1 about the Indigenous people than I did in years of public school. Thank you for this insightful program.

Great course for basic overview of Indigenous in Canada. I most liked learning about the treaties, bills and acts as I didn't have a broad understanding of them as much as I do now.
