This course was amazing and truly well organized. I feel like I walked away with a much better understanding of some of the difficulties surrounding Indigenous Peoples today and in the past. I think this is a fantastic course for all Canadians

Great course! but Coursera deleted progress at module 7 and I had to start over! Also I paid for a certificate and that ( payment )disappeared as well on the same day. I sent them a screenshot of my payment but not sure if they'll honour it

i learned a lot about the indigenous culture and resilency the people have. i hope to get a chance to take course like this so i can have better understanding of what i need to do and know. As an ally and supporter of the indigenous people.

Amazing course and content. I am grateful to everyone involved in providing it as well as the indigenous peoples past and present who are all exemplary individuals. There's so much to learn from you. Thank you. With love and repect, Gianluca

A great course for anyone looking to become an ally or increase their overall awareness of many aspects and facets of Indigenous history and culture. The instruction, instructors and materials were extremely well prepared and pulled together.

Thank you. It was an eye opening, very good general introduction to Indigenous history in Canada, and has spurred me to continue learning about the people who made this area their home for the thousands of years prior to our family's arrival.

Vital information for all Canadians. There are some small glitches in the course (confusing/poor grammar at times, and some missing links), but overall, this is well put together and a great introduction for future learning and conversations.

This has been an honour to participate in. I have learned an incredible amount of previously unlearned/unknown information. I understand so much more than I did before. My plan is to continue to learn more about Indigenous Peoples in Canada.

Excellent, extremely informative and insightful! The presenters were knowledgeable and provide a great representation of issues across time and regions within Turtle Island. The notes were perfect for reinforcing the learning's. Thank you.

A fantastic introduction to Indigenous history and culture in Canada - but which is also beneficial for learners with some knowledge of the topics covered. I wish it were mandatory for all people working in government and public institutions.

A great resource to open up your perspective and allow for open discussions. I think this course is a must for anyone seeking to broaden their horizons and have a greater understanding of how history plays a vital role in present day society.

This course was amazing. As a Canadian, I can't stress enough how important this information is. My unconscious bias and racism was highlighted several times and I'm humbled to have been given the space to learn and grow from this. Thank you!

Really happy to have taken this course. I wished I had paid more attention in middle school/high school and saw this course pop up. Definitely a good course to go over if you're interested in advancing your knowledge about Indigenous Peoples.

Excellent! I really appreciated this opportunity to decolonize the Canadian history I was taught and I look forward to using what I have learned to ensure my children will have a decolonized perspective on Canadian history as well. Thank you!

Thank you so much for all that you have shared. I appreciate learning more about the Indigenous peoples of Canada, and hearing another version of Canada's history. The artwork and explanations was a really nice touch. Very well done to all.

I really enjoyed this course, particularly as a settler in Canada, as it informed me in a non-adversarial way. My only wish is that more of the Indigenous art that was discussed in the final module was shown, rather than just spoken about.

Fantastic course! I really appreciated the accessibility of the course to Canadians and the opportunity to learn and ponder the material presented. The course is a good starting point to delve more deeply into the specific topics. Thank you!

Amazing course! As a social work academic, this course was much needed to deepen my understanding on Indigenous history, contemporary realities and art! Highly recommend it to all settler Canadians, it's a must in the reconciliation process.

This class changed my life. The professors are wonderful. The content addresses a lot of painful topics, with truth and honesty, with the intent of saying things like they are, without sugarcoating it. Thank you from the bottom for my heart.

Was well put together and so insightful and helpful in understanding the history of my country and it's people. It honestly should be required learning for all Canadians. Thank you so much for offering this important learning for free!!!!

Sometimes it was very humbling and painful. I learned a lot about my own History because I was raised with lots of secrets. So it opened a lot of doors to finally explore my heritage especially my Spirituality and understand it more clearly.

This course is beautiful, insightful, well-organized, and deeply moving. Thank you to Dr. Bear and the rest of the team at the University of Alberta for their generosity of spirit in sharing their knowledge and scholarship through this MOOC.

Wow, an incredible amount of information about the subject. I gave five stars but perhaps will add that some of the verbal presentations got tedious. But as a former teacher I realize how difficult that is speaking to a camera. Thank you.

I have completed this course with a much greater understanding of our Indigenous culture in Canada.

The course was very well presented and gave me a better understanding of the various Treaties and Acts under which our Indigenous people live.

This is an absolutely outstanding course. I have learned so much, and my thoughts and perspectives on colonization have evolved. I am so grateful that this course was created, and will strive to learn more about indigenous peoples of Canada.
