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.

I was very naive to how Canada came to be. This course opened my eyes to the hardship, determination, and resiliency the Indigenous have conquered. Would recommend to anyone!

This course showed me a number of facts and timelines which were not taught to me during any history class. The presenters did a fine job of showing both sides of the story.

Wonderful course. I have worked with First Nations schools for many years and I now understand why some of the traditions and practices we do at meetings come from history.

It is an in depth explanation of the history of the indigenous people told in the simplest and most educative way. The sounds, testimonies and paintings makes it memorable.

Super informative. Easy to follow. I better appreciate the present having had a glimpse into the past and history of the indigenous peoples of Canada and colonial settlers.
