Such important information for us all. This course was eye-opening and should really be taken by every Canadian. The course flows along nicely and is easy to navigate. I am better for having taken it.

This is a great survey course about Indigenous Canada. As a participant, I have learned and unlearned so much about Indigenous Canadians, and more important, this course has inspired me to learn more.

I enjoyed this course. I've recently moved to Canada and I would encourage anyone who is in my position to take this course, to gain that baseline knowledge of the indigenous Canadian community.

Great course! Only complaint is that for some of the assessment questions the answers are a little ambiguous and difficult to chose between. Great and very relevant information, would recommend!

This was an excellent and informative course. At times it was a little broad but I appreciated all the interviews they did with subject-matter experts -- really felt cohesive and I learnt a lot.

An excellent introduction to the study of native history, culture, survival, and colonization. I definitely would like to pursue these studies further based on what this course has taught me.

This course is truly a history lesson. One that i was not taught in school. It is very intense with a lot of new information, which meant i had to take notes to pass the tests. But worth it.

Muy completo, variado y con enfoque indÃgena indispensable para abordar temas relacionados a los pueblos indÃgenas. La traducción al español por momentos complicaba la comprensión del curso.

The content of this course was thorough, informative and thought provoking. The transcript was not always accurate making the notes a little confusing. The online format is very convenient.

I learned a great deal taking this course and I would recommend it to others. My one complaint is that I wish there had been more attention paid to the Eastern Indigenous Bands and Nations.

Thanks for the opportunity to learn about First Nations struggles and how Colonialism ignored their wisdom and broke promises. Truth and Reconciliation is their right and long overdue.
