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.

Highly recommended - I have recommended it some of my staff who are interested in both taking the course and reading the materials. I should note they are First Nations and are as interested as I was.

Learned a lot about how Canada is possible to have become a nation state, and it involved a systemic exploitation and violence against indigenous peoples and their worldviews.

Very infortmative, and important for everyone in Canada, as well as North America as a whole to learn and dedicate their time to. Good job to the faculty of Indigenous studies.

This was a very good course which helped me to better understand the history of indigenous peoples in Canada; a history which was sadly ignored or perverted during my education.

This course was very informative, organized and interesting. I feel so priviledged that I got to learn as much as I did, and I hope more Indigenous courses will be offered soon!
