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 found it hard to get through because of the truth that was spoken and of the guilt that comes from being a settler. It was a profound learning experience for me and I hope to keep learning. Thank you so much for allowing me to take this course.

Wonderful insight and highly accessible for all of us Canadians! We need more knowledge of Indigenous culture and peoples in our daily lives not only to celebrate our roots, but to fully embrace our ancestors of this land. Thank you, thank you!!!

Did not delve too deep into topics but spoke on many! It was a great introductory course. I wish everyone in Canada had to take this course, or they taught more about Indigenous Canada in elementary/high school as I did not learn very much there!

This was a wonderfully informative course that all Canadians should have to take in order to understand our marred past and, in that education, progress the work of doing better and becoming respectful allies alongside our Indigenous neighbours.

This course should be required for all students in Canada. Incredibly informative and prompted me to dive deeper into some of the historic and contemporary issues. And feel more confident in un-learning some of the colonized themes from the past.

I started following this course out of curiosity, since I wanted to know more about indigenous people in North America. Week by week, it fully grabbed my attention and now, at the end of the course, I will definitely dig for more about the topic.

Loved it! Want more. This is the first Indigenous course l have taken in my Educational Journey. It wasn't offered during my educational years. I'm 57 and to learn in a safe place on my own time was amazing. Thank you for the incredible work.

Well presented! I enjoyed the the history lessons. There is so much that I did not know and realize that there is much more history, good and bad to learn about First Nations People, places & cultures. Thank you for a wonderful start. Well done!

This course was recently described by Dan Levy as transformational. I couldn't agree more. Thank you so much for the depth, care and capacity that went into this piece of learning. I am very grateful that I had the opportunity to complete it.

This course showed me a whole world of things I was unaware of or vaguely aware of in Canada. I had to face my own stereotypical thoughts and preconceptions about the experiences and history of Indigenous peoples who live in what is now Canada.
