This is a must for anyone, non-indigenous to Indigenous to complete. Should also be a part of the process to become a Canadian citizen. Very well done. I thank you for opening my eyes, mind and heart.

This is a great survey course about Indigenous Canada. As a participant, I have learned and unlearned so much about Indigenous Canadians, and more important, this course has inspired me to learn more.

Thoroughly enjoyed the course - For the last Week/Module, it would have been nice to see the art they were discussing, instead of having to Google it myself. Otherwise it was great - great content and presenters.

The course was extremely educational on the Indigenous people of Canada and their history.
Some weeks were a review if you have taken Indigenous studies course before.
Overall great course and would recommend it

I appreciate getting this great summary on Indigenous Canada. My goal is to learn more to assist in my prosecutions so I am dealing fairly with the Indigenous people in my court.
Thanks so much, H. Lynne Stewart

Great foundational knowledge and information. Authentically delivered. Quizzes were helpful to anchor information. Notes were also helpful. More interaction throughout the lectures would have been useful too.

Found the course very interesting and it certainly upped my understanding of the Indigenous in Canada. In Week 12 would have loved to see more pictures of the Indigenous works attributed to the various artists

I learned a lot from the course. Sometimes I found the quiz questions were not clear or had two or so answers that could be right and that was confusing.
Thank you very much for this enlightening course.

very informative, lots of video editing errors and I noticed that in some of the quizzes the answers I selected were marked as wrong even though the notes say that they're right.
I would take this course again.

Great course. Lots of information presented with a fair voice. Highly recommend for anyone who is curious about and willing to hear "The other side of the story". A big THANK YOU to all who made this possible.

Excellent overview and a really good intro to Native Issues in Canada. Will definitely be recommending to friends and family. However, the transcripts provided with the videos are in serious need of editing

Was a good hard look at what Canada was and is from a different perspective than one I usually see it from. I was challenged to think about Canadian history and the relationships between people living here.

As this course was online, additional pictures, stories, examples, etc. (something to help retain information as there is a lot of speaking) would be helpful. I can't believe how much I learned! Thank you!

This was a great introductory course with lots of interesting content. The interviews were incredible. I would have appreciated more visuals and videos especially when coverning more contemporary content.

Thank you for a well organized, comprehensive course. There is so much I did not know and I feel as if I have just scratched the surface. I will continue to make an effort to learn more.

This course was very interesting, but there were two issues. First, the writing of the summaries was very poor. Ambiguous statements, poor grammar, etc. And the questions on the test were often misleading

Living in western Canada pretty much my whole life, I have been able to learn a bit more about the culture and history of the Indigenous community in canada. Overall an interesting and informative course.

I learned a lot about different perspectives with this course. At times I felt a little attacked as a settler when I have not knowingly engage in some of the discriminatory and racist behviours described.

Quite informative given its scope. The information is well cited which allows for further, personal research and exploration. My only complaint is the "Reading" document for some modules has some typos.

Overall, the course was great. Some information and videos could use updating, but great introductory class and would recommend any Canadians to take to get a different perspective of Canadian history.

I learned so much and realize I know less than what I thought I did . I enjoyed the different mediums to bring about the content which can be dense at times. Thank you for putting this course together!

I really loved this class. It was great learning about the First Nations of Canada. There was so much I didn't know about that I learned from this course. It was all very enlightening and interesting.

Material was informative and very interesting. Facilitators were easy to understand. Increased my knowledge of Indigenous awareness to better serve clients.
Not a fan of multiple choice quizzes.

I enjoyed this class. It deepened my knowledge of several historical issues. The presenters were all excellent. One point - the quizzes sometimes do not match the learning objectives for the unit.

Overall I am very happy that I have chosen to do this course. Almost everything was new to me. I would have liked to see a bit more interactivity within (or after) the individual week's materials.
