I thoroughly enjoyed this course. The detailed content and expert presentation made this one of the most engaging and enjoyable courses for me yet via the Coursera platform. I am First Nation New Zealand Maori so could relate to all of the content in a very personal way. My heartfelt thanks to all involved in the creation and publication of this MOOC. Nga mihi nui kia koutou!

This was an insightful and engaging course. All the material was presented in a dynamic and easy to understand manner. Hosts of the course were excellent and there was great variety in how the information was presented to appeal to all types of learners. Very glad I took this course and feel I have a significantly greater understanding and appreciation of Indigenous Canadians.

Amazing. If you have not taken this course, you should. Everything from the content to the flow of the course, to the instructors and guests are amazing. The content leaves you wanting to see the follow up to this course that dives into greater detail on the lessons (please create a follow up course or suggestions for further learning). Highly recommend to anyone and everyone.

This course taught me so much about the country I live in, our borrowed land and the neglected history of our aboriginal brothers and sisters. As an educator, I am so amazed by my lack of awareness and am grateful for the opportunity to learn so that I may be able to more accurately reflect the truth in my teachings. Thank you so much for this wonderfully put together program.

This course offered me a whole new version of my country's history - not the one I was taught throughout elementary and high schools. It has made me think, and look at what I "know", with a more critical eye and, I hope, a less biased perspective. I appreciate the work that went into creating this course, and offer my thanks to all who gave of their time, knowledge and wisdom.

I thoroughly enjoyed taking the Indigenous Canada course. I learned a so much about the Indigenous culture and history, I feel more connected in so many ways and I am grateful for the opportunity to become more educated regarding the myriad of topics and videos that were part of this course. Great content and presenters. I would highly recommend this course to all Canadians.

Very insightful and covered so many facets of Canadian Indigenous history. As a descendant of a country overseas that also was colonized it was interesting to relate to the experience of people here going through a similar experience. Generational trauma is real and it's sad that it took this long to acknowledge it.

I'm going to recommend this course to my colleagues! Thanks

This was an excellent course that should be taught at the high school and post secondary levels. I learned so much that I did not know before, and I was moved with the learning. It has reshaped my views on Canada's history and why it's important to understand the past to better understand the future. If other similar courses are offered I will be taking them in the future.

This course was absolutely outstanding !!! I learned so much (that i should have learned in school). The course was very well laid out with a nice mix of lecture, interviews and learning about art. Quizzes were challenging ! I am truly thankful to have had this opportunity and will recommend to all my friends who need to know how about Canada's read history (and present) .

I knew little of Aboriginal history and culture, despite being born and raised in Ontario, and this was a great way to dive in. It has inspired me to find more information, view more art, and offer support anyway I can. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Your passion and knowledge showed throughout all of the courses, drawing me in along with you. Thank you!

Not only did I learn so much from the Indigenous Canada course, but I also thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Every week, I looked forward to signing on and following the rich and dynamic lessons and multidisciplinary approach to the important topics discussed. This course has inspired me to continue learning and deepening my understanding. Thank you all for this opportunity.

This course provides essential learning for every Canadian. We do not get this perspective through our education system and without it, we lack the ability to understand current issues around race and the environment. I encourage everyone from colonialist descent to take this course with an open mind, you will see your country in a new light and that will be a positive thing.

I found this course, Knowable more then I thought. You when thought all the emotions through the 12 module and the painting were Amazing, you really understand and feel the pictures once you understand, Thank you Leah Dorion. The teacher of knowledge was Great. I am on my journey and this course is added to my basket. Thank you from my Heart and God Bless. Mike G Guthrie

I very much enjoyed the variety of content and the diverse examples from indigenous communities across Canada. The relationship between issues in the past, present and future was well presented. I also enjoyed the interviews. I wish that the unit on women and gender was more fleshed out. I would have enjoyed learning more about queer identity within indigenous communities.

This was very helpful and informative in developing the beginning of an understanding of differing viewpoints in Canadian history. I loved being able to work at my own pace, and the very clear videos and course notes. Thank you so much for taking the time to provide this course for free so that I can work towards understanding Canada's history and peoples more completely.

This course was very enlightening I learned so much about my own history being that I am Metis. My Mother never spoke about her family and certainly did not admit to being aboriginal when I was growing up. Now she would be proud to own her heritage as I am to learn about our history. I experienced sadness, loss and joy while doing the course. Thank you for the education.

A wonderful insight to Indigenous Studies with a broad but detailed delivery. Topics that were covered were insightful and much was new to me, even with having taken prior courses in Indigenous Studies. The resources are well written, instructors show passion, and intermittent quizzes were on point and not onerous at all. I am very happy I could participate in this program.

I have learned what history class in the 80's never had the guts to teach, thank you for opening the doors for me to discover and learn the truth which I have always felt in my soul. This is a beautiful, thoughtful and brilliant course which challenged my institutionalized "taught" knowledge of Canada and what it means to be "Canadian". Thank you! It is time for the truth.

I have sincerely appreciated the presentation of this course, not knowing what to expect. As a full-blooded white male, I thought I knew a little more than is now apparent. Though there are obvious ‘digs’ at the colonial settlers (of which I am a part, by default of birth) your educating of us is nonetheless done with dignity and honesty. I feel I am better for it. Thank you

What a wonderful course. So thoughtfully put together. I can't believe the tremendous amount of work that was put into this course. It was so appreciated and really broadened my knowledge of many Indigenous subjects relevant to our country and the history of Canada. It has inspired me to further learn. Again my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to all who were involved.

I completed a BA with a major in Native American Studies 20 years ago. I had heard what a great course there was and decided to take it. I loved the videos, the different speakers within the videos and the information shared. Some of course I new, but other things I did not know much about. Great course with both video and notes for you to go through. Highly recommend!

It was an enlightening course that gives a different perspective to what one may know or think he/she knows about Indigenous history, culture, life, etc. Material was interesting, not overwhelming yet informative. I hope many more people take this course. I know I have referred it to a number of individuals and hope to continue my education on Indigenous topics. Thank you.

This course was very informative. I appreciated the various perspectives and stories and I really appreciated the interactive art by Leah Dorion. I actually think that the interactive paintings would be a valuable resource for elementary and secondary school teachers in a variety of contexts.

Thank you for offering this course - it is one more step in my journey of learning.

As a member of a settler society it is extremely difficult to know "what you don't know" until taking a course like this. I am now reading Canadian history with a very different lens. I now want to go further and learn more about Indigenous experience and to re-examine with new eyes (taht are still forming) the history that was given to me through the public school system.
