I really enjoyed the course! So much I didn't know about the history. I also didn't have a true understanding why there is so much discourse between Indigenous people and government. Total eye opener.

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.

Why did they choose to use the word Aboriginal rather than Indigenous? I still don't understand this choice.

Modules 9, 10, 11 seemed a bit vague at times and could have used more specific examples to clarify points.
