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.

Well-done! I learned so much and am inspired to learn more. All three lecturers are superb and the “course art” is an absolute gift at the end of each module.

The course was very well done. I did not find some of the questions in the quizzes were as helpful in understanding what I thought were the important issues.

Essential learning for anyone from anywhere. Canadian in focus, but these issues build understanding and empathy for universal experiences of systemic racism.

Excellent course

I am horrified to think I "completed" my education without ever learning the information presented in this course.

A real eye-opener.

Thank-you

Very informative and interesting at the same time. I really appreciate that you have given me an historical context to understand today's issues. Thank you.

Some content was challenging to go through, which is as it should be. This kind of content about our history needs to be a part of Primary School education.
