Very informative, I really enjoyed this course. The perspectives presented were eye-opening, and it was nice to be able to learn more about Indigenous peoples and what they have endured on their land.

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.

I am new to this subject only because Indigenous History in Canada was not properly taught in schools when I grew up. We need more courses like this at all grade levels!

I did not receive the certificate I paid $85. How do I get a shareable copy? Also very difficult to communicate, ask a question such as this, hence using this review...

This course was very informative. I was impressed by how much information was able to be conveyed in such a short amount of time. I wish there was a part 2 and so on.

Absolutely incredible! I was able to learn about the tainted but inspiring history of Indigenous in Canada and even more proud to be an Qalipu Mi'kmaq from Newfoundland

This course was excellent. It really helped me understand that I am a settler and that there is work to be done to honour treaties. The Indigenous culture is beautiful!
