I really enjoyed the course! So much I didn't know about the history. I also didn't have a true understanding why there is so much discourse between Indigenous people and government. Total eye opener.

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.

I loved this course, I had forgotten about the classes, not because I was bored or anything, but because of school work. I find this class absolutely fascinating and I suggest anybody interested take the course. You can take a bit of time and they won't get supper mad.

Excellent course to get a perspective that wasn't offered through junior/senior high here in Alberta. A necessary moment that Canadians should go through.
We need to challenge people to get uncomfortable with our history in order to be ready for our nation's future.

I thought that I knew quite a bit about the history of the Indigenous community and Canada. However, this course showed me just how little I really knew. This course should be mandatory for everyone in Canada. Excellent just doesn't seem to be enough to describe it.

A fantastic and wholly accessible summary of the history of Indigenous Peoples across Canada. Thank you to all involved in producing the course - as a newcomer to Canada, it's helped me to really understand the long history and ongoing struggles of Indigenous Peoples.

An exceptional and profound learning experience about Indigenous Peoples. Completing this course was a vital step for me in understanding the 'Truth' about settlers and colonization impacts on Indigenous Peoples: past, present and future. Deep appreciation and thanks.

This course was very well designed - easy to deal with. I learned a lot more being able to review and re-do the tests. that was a great idea.
The course provided more than I expected. I now feel that I have a good understanding on Indigenous culture.
Thanks so much!

Excellent knowledge that should be included as part of a mandatory course curriculum... I feel that I should have learned this in grade/high school. This is necessary knowledge that is taught through a number of mediums that support well-rounded and engaging learning.

Excellent introduction course to the complexities of Indigenous Peoples. It was accessible. Extremely generous. I would encourage every Canadian, visitor to Canada to take the course. I also hope anyone with young children to start telling the part of our history.

I learned an unlearned a lot in this course. The course presented a broad assortment of topics with specific examples to illustrate. I recently became a Canadian citizen, and this course has really helped me to learn more about the country in which I'm proud to live.

This course reshaped my understanding of the colonisation effects on Indigenous peoples. It also made me keenly aware of the common tactics used by colonisers against the colonised. Finally, it celebrated the resilience of the Indigenous as it should have! Thank you.

An amazingly great course to know more about Indigenous living in Canada. It is absolutely great that this course an be taken for free since everyone should engage in these kinds of knowledge to be conscious about inequalities and discrimination toward other peoples.

I loved every moment of this course. I learned so much about our history and relationship with the First People's to inhabit our land. I feel like I have done my due diligence as a Canadian to learn about the beginnings of our country; the good, the bad and the ugly.

I found the course to be very comprehensive for an introductory program. I learned a great deal and feel like I can move forward and talk about Truth and Reconciliation with a greater understanding of why it is so important. Now that I know better, I will do better.

The course was really well put together and very informative. This really needs to be taught in grade school to younger eyes and open minds. Fantastic job, really filled in a number of gaps. Will definitely be recommending this course as it was recommended to me.

Fantastic course, and very engaging. It has made me want to learn more about First Nations culture in North America, and broaden my understanding of their culture. In doing so i hope to be an ally in their cause to create a more equitable system for all individuals.

I learned so much! I loved the diversity of the content and it was very well presented. Learning about Canada's History from the Indigenous Perspective is so important, and I look forward to a future where these kinds of teachings are included in all public schools.

Fantastic course, presented in a knowledgeable fashion. Learn at your own pace, student/instructor forum discussions, video lessons with transcripts and reading materials. Plus the ability to re-set deadlines when life gets in the way! Definitely recommend this one!

I learned a great deal about Indigenous History and European colonialism in Canada, how much is yet to be accomplished in refining our education system and political systems to include Indigenous voice , experience, and tradition.
Thank you for offering this course.

Thank you so much for this free course! I learned so much and am motivated to explore some of these issues in more depth. Every Canadian should do this course. So much of this history is left our of our education system which is grossly unfair. We need to do better.

Very interesting course. Very much the opinion of the narrators - much is true but being a non-indigenous person made me feel as if I was the direct cause of all the indigenous problems, which I am quite sure is not the case. I liked learning more about the history.
