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 thought I knew a lot about First Nations peoples until I took this course. It opened my eyes to exactly how unique these people were/are when it comes to day to day living and how resilient they are against assimilation and genocide.

Thanks for this course. You have flamed my passion for indigenous culture and history. I never thought so much had happened in Canada and they had to dealt with so many things. I think it is a contemporary issue and it is not over yet.

I learned so much in this course!! The instructors worked so hard to present a sweeping overview of the indigenous history of Canada. I'm grateful for this new knowledge. This is critical history that all in North America should know.

Very well structured. Comprehensive details. Balance between reading materials, art lesson, video lectures, guest speakers, and complementary stories. Down side: Some quiz questions/answers need to be reviewed and revised for accuracy

This was an amazing and engaging course. I was constantly questioning what I had learned in school as a child, as well as digging deeper into my own perspective on Indigenous rights. Truly informative - and my learning has only begun.

As an L'nu person from the east coast (Listuguj) I learned so much of our shared history from this course. Wela'lin! Your model and structure gives us much to think about when developing educational programming out here in Mi'kmaki.

A great history lesson! The information was very comprehensive and covered different aspects of Indigenous life in Canada. As a non Indigenous person, It was an honour to be educated on the history of the owners of the land. Thank you

This was a very informative course and provided important knowledge of Indigenous peoples' perspective of Canadian & British colonial history that is sadly missing both in Canadian & British perspective of the history of this country.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. As a white male living in Canada I believe that this course should be taken by all Canadians to help broaden perspectives and include the voices of those who are marginalized in the dominant culture.

Very Informational and eye opening. It is a perfect introductory course to the topic of Indigenous Canada. The course highlights the basics while also giving just enough information to make it an immersive and educational experience.
