Thanks for teaching me a lot about indigenous history in Canada. I am inspired to learn more. I just finished Chelsea Vowel’s book, Indigenous Writes and I’m currently reading the summary of the RCAP.

This is exactly what needs to be taught in our public and catholic school system. I am so glad I found this oppurtunity to learn indigenous truth. Its opened my eyes to what my aunt and cousins have faced. Thank you!!

The content was masterful, my only complaint is that I never received my certificate. That’s not the instructors fault, but I don’t know how to rectify it. I paid the fee to receive a certificate and never received it.

I learned so much an appreciate the span of topics, knowledge, worldviews from across North America. I wish you were offering more courses about pre-contact time and about the changes during initial contact.

The course is excellent . I learned so much from the modules on the treaties, Indian Act and the impacts of colonialism on Indigenous peoples. Hoping the contributions of Inuit artists can be included in the future .

Excellent course! This dives deeply into many issues that we are not taught in the government education system. Everyone needs to take the time to learn about Canada's history and how we can help bring about change.
