I believe that everyone should take this course. If for nothing more than to gain a greater understanding of our Indigenous Peoples. The course was very well presented. The only problem I found was that the readings were strictly a rehash of the lectures

I appreciated how the course gave a broad overview of the history of Indigenous People in Canada and worked it's way through more recent and present issues. I was pleased to see a whole week devoted to art and to end the course on this was wonderful.

I really enjoyed this course and I feel like I learned a lot about the Indigenous peoples of Canada. I really liked that although the course did focus on such issues as resedential schools and MMIWG, it also talked aboit Indigenous artists and culture.

This is a well put together, eye opening course that is absolutely necessary for those of us who call Canada home to learn the history of our country. Through collective knowledge and understanding of our history we can work towards true reconciliation.

I found this course incredibly informative and extremely interesting. With the weekly modules broken into stand-alone segments, it was easy to incorporate into the week. As a Metis learning about my heritage late in life, the course helped this journey.

This course was fantastic and so enlightening. It has prompted so many further questions that I am eager to explore. Thank you to the organizers for your generosity in sharing and for this important work. Critical education for all who reside in Canada.

I am a proud Canadian and the Indigenous Canada course was extremely educational. During my employment part of my training was a lecture on Indigenous history in North America. I also had the honor to meet The Chippewas Of Georgina Island First Nation.

This course was a fantastic introduction in to Indigenours history, and contemporary issues. Anyone interested in having a better understanding of Indigenous culture MUST take this course. It was great that I could complete this course at my own pace.

I think that every student in high school should take a course similar to this one. This was by far one of the most informative classes that I've ever taken and I have two degrees! Thank you so much for filling me in on the REAL history of this country!

I'm very glad to have been given the opportunity to learn about Indigenous history, culture, and world views. This course has filled in many gaps left by the high school and university level history and social studies classes I have taken. Thank you!

Highly recommend this course. It's all the context and nuance we weren't given in school regarding Indigenous history. It is a critical piece as we digest current affairs from a non-colonial perspective, and seek full understanding of our entire nation.

The material presented in the course was informative, well presented, and provided a new appreciation of various indigenous cultures throughout Canada. Much appreciated!! I will definitely be recommending this course to family, friends, and colleagues.

Thank you so much for such a detailed, informative, and engaging collection of lessons. I thought I had a basic knowledge of many of the topics only to see that in reality, I know very little. Thank you for these difficult but necessary conversations.

I think this was a great starting point to learn about the First Nation Peoples of Canada, and the effects of colonization. The instructors were very engaging.

Course artist, Leah Dorian is simply amazing . Her work is passionate, vibrant and emotive.

The course offered me the chance for an condensed overview of First Peoples' in Canada. I have studied some of Indigenous Studies, now, to see a wider, more in dept, look and listening I feel more connected or understand my and our Turtle Island people.

This very informative course is an essential resource for anyone looking to gain a comprehensive understanding of Indigenous issues. It’s both educational and thought-provoking, making it a highly recommended experience for students of all backgrounds.

Very informative and thourough, i would like a bit more visuals during the presentations, but otherwise I am very happy that I took part and gained knowledge about Indegineus people, thier culture, thier pracitces and thier overall history. Thank you.

Such a complex course explained in interesting and colourful way.s From history, to interviews, art, and everything in between, I feel much more comfortable with the material now and can say i have a better understanding of Canada's Indigenous peoples.

I hope everyone on Turtle Island and around the globe has the opportunity to consume this course. Excellently presented. Beautifully represented in the artwork. A bit of no-nonsense history to help start Reconciliation. Many many thanks. Miigwetch

Well presented. This course is something that every Canadian should take. It has expanded my knowledge of the effects of colonialism. I hope we can over come the negative effects and begin to learn from our lands original inhabitants. Many thanks.

Absolutely fantastic. This should be embedded in school curricula across Canada. I really appreciated having both the video and text, as well as the follow up reading. Ending with the paintings every week was a delightful way to reflect and learn more.

I'm so glad that I took this course. It has opened my eyes to a history that is never fully told. Thank you to Tracy Bear and all involved for putting together a comprehensive and honest course that highlights the indigenous people's of Canada's story.

I highly recommend this course! learnt a lot more about my culture and history of colonialization. I really enjoyed taking the course and learning. The instructors/professors are great speakers and gave lots of information that gave me food for thought

this was an extremely in depth course compared to other Indigenous training I have taken.

I recommend taking the time to do this and don't be overwhelmed, just do 1 week at a time and slowly you will get all the information contained here.

Being of mixed indigenous and European decent, This course has opened my mind to a history of my families struggles and how it shaped me into who and my place in this world. My eyes are open and I see we need more education of our indigenous peoples.
