This was a compelling course filled with such important material. I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to enrol and begin my process of learning. Deep gratitude to U of A, Instructors, TAs, and Coursera for making this possible.

Excellent and informative Course. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a better understanding of indigenous issues and some root causes to disputes that are on-going. Thank you UofA and coursera for making this information accessible.

Very informative! I appreciated hearing about Indigenous culture, stories, issues, art etc. from a purely Indigenous perspective. It helped me to understand and acknowledge even more the beauty and the struggles of the Indigenous people.

I loved this course. Much of the content was new to me and the instructors did a wonderful job presenting it. If there is a follow up course I would sign up for it quickly. Also if there is a book covering the material I would buy it.

Learned how much was missing from my primary and secondary education programs. Thank you for putting this together and making it easy to access. It is a great intro to some of the cultures and the history of Indigenous people in Canada.

Never have I enjoyed a course as much as this one. Why this course is not mandatory in Canada is a mystery. So many problems could be solved through this type of education. Thank you for this wonderful gift. Kind regards, Janice Parente.

Je me trouve vraiment chanceuse d’avoir eu cette opportunité de suivre le cours. J’ai tellement appris de choses! C’est incroyable et tres touchant! Je suis enormement reconnaissante! Merci! Super bon cours bien organiser et interessant!

incredible learning. Even though there is so much information it provided a starting point to research more. Even stimulated me to enrol in arts at university and take indigenous studies courses as part of a minor. thank you for that

This course was absolutely incredible! Incredibly humbling, thought provoking and eye-opening. I immersed myself in it everyday; I couldn't get enough information. Well thought out; easy to follow. I would highly recommend this course.

studies and ceremonies. After taking this course I have a greater understanding and appreciation for the diversity of Indigenous peoples across Canada and the hardship faced past, present, and future due to the impacts of colonization.

Excellent course! This was so well designed and written. I am so glad I was lucky enough to hear about this. I only wish I would have grown up learning the truth, but also the beauty and intelligence of traditional Indigenous cultures.

Thank you for an informative,, reality-based course that all Canadians should enroll in. Shocking is how settlers treated the Indigenous Peoples, the original inhabitants of Canada. This should be mandatory training for our politicians!

really great course! The time estimates were way off for my experience And i found that reading the course notes first was a better way to establish learning then watch the video to consolidate understanding. Overall a fantastic course

I started his course after the horrific discovery frofrom from after the horrific discovery at residential schools in Canada. This course helped me understand the unique perspective of indigenous peoples and their importance to Canada.

An excellent course. Eye- and mind-opening. I'm amazed at how much material was covered in only 12 weeks -- I feel I've learned so much and yet I realize I've only scratched the surface. Thank for this extraordinary introductory course.

I thought I knew a lot about Indigenous history but now I realize it was just a drop in the bucket. Even what I thought I knew was corrected along the way. This course should be made mandatory for all Canadians and those new to this la

Never have I taken a course in all of my University studies that has so moved me by virtue of it's content and delivery I have recommended this course to everyone I know who wishes to better understand the real history of our country.

This was such an informative course. As a settler to Canada, living in Toronto, this course did a great job opening my eyes and develop an appreciation for the history and rich culture of the Indigenous People. Thanks to all involved.

Wonderful and necessary to hear the indigenous view of the history of Canada. Loved hearing Dr. Bear speak and share her knowledge in a thoughtful and constructive manner. I feel more compassion and understanding of indigenous people.

A contender for the best course I have done on Coursera. Among other things, historians have the responsibility of showing us who are are, rather than who we would like to think we are. This course took on this challenge successfully!

This course was a great introduction of our shared history with the much needed point of view that is not largely represented in our public education system. I would reccommend this to anyone who wants a great foundation to build upon.

Indigenous Canada is a beautifully structured course. Each module builds upon itself to tell an emotional, inspiring and proud history of the Indigenous people of Canada. This course should be taught in every institution across Canada.

I believe every Canadian would benefit from taking this course. It has deepened my understanding of this country's history, indigenous culture, governance, and treaties. The materials have been well researched and thoughtfully created.

This was an incredible course full of detail, honesty, humbleness and most important an appreciation of our Indigenous communities. I see the strength and resilience that is Indigenous! I look forward to continue my education further.

Absolutely fascinating, brilliant, thought provoking, really can't recommend it highly enough as the beginning of your exploration into the history of and understanding of indigenous Canada and the contemporary issues that exist today.
