I enjoyed relearning this course 15+ years later. It was detailed and imformative. I also feel that it gave me a better sense of knowing where I come from and where my intergenerational traumas stemmed from. I look forward to learning more as I am sure this course gets updated every so often. Thank you for the opportunity to take this free course

The course covered so many topics clearly and concisely, so that I feel I have a great basic understanding of the Indigenous community in Canada. This has made be want to learn more, so will definitely be following up with some of the suggested resources. Thanks so much for making this course available ... I will definitely be recommending it.

I just wanted to say this course was truly incredible. I learned a lot that has been omitted from history books and it gave me insight into the challenges, frustrations and perspectives of our rich indigenous culture. Thank you to the teachers, artists and interviewers for opening their hearts to those that want to learn and educate themselves.

Totally enjoyed the learning of the Indigenous on Turtle Island. It is amazing that the course of this nature can be offered for free....so appreciated and thankful. I have told others about this course and have encouraged them to get a better understanding of not only Canadian history but also help understand current events. Top notch course....

As a public servant of European ancestry, I am grateful to have had the opportunity to take this course. It was so informative and answered so many questions I had. It also fills in the many gaps in my knowledge of Indigenous peoples and issues in Canada.

I have recommended this course to many people, and believe every Canadian should take it.

This course corrected the misinformation for me that is prevalent in my community. I am humbled and saddened that indigenous peoples have to struggle to this day with the colonial biases that are still prevalent in this country. My hope is that through courses such as this one, that gap will narrow and we can all live together peacefully soon.

Thank you for your tremendous work and passion in bringing the truth forward. I am ashamed for the past atrocities committed against you and hope I can play a part in moving forward together. Although I have never asked, please accept me and my family here - as we have no other home. I am humbled and grateful to live along side you on this land.

This course included a wealth of information regarding Indigenous people in Canada (and more briefly, North America). the curriculum is a must in my opinion for all Canadians. I loved the information sharing from various professors.

Dan Levy promoted this on social media and this is how I learned about this course. I would highly recommend it.

I recently became a Canadian citizen and really learned a lot from this course. It should be required to become a citizen! The course was very well done and very informative. I enjoyed the artwork that was commissioned for the course and I have better understanding of the history of settler contact and the groups of indigenous people. Thank you!

An incredibly eye-opening, heart-breaking and thought-provoking course. This course sheds a light on the heavy truth that is our country's history. This is a highly recommended course for all Canadians (and beyond) to learn about Canada's history from the Indigenous perspective. Thank you to everyone who made this course possible and accessible.

This is an excellent course. It's clear, concise, varied and easy to follow. It was good to be able to download the course notes and to make notes along the way using the "save note" function. It covered a wide range of aspects that any non-indigenous or unlearned indigenous person can gain much insight and information from. Highly recommended!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this course and would recommend that all Canadians take advantage of learning this perspective. I thought the course was well laid out and the modules spaced appropriately for learning. I enjoyed both the ability to visually learn and listen as well as read along. Thank you to all involved for offering this course for free.

this is a great start to learning about our neighbouring nations. This course allowed me to place historical relevance on ongoing issues, and look at current Canadian situation with knowing the histories a bit more. This was a great first step in learning and now it is up to me to study further and learn more. Thank you for offering this course

I learned a huge amount from this course and I’m so glad I took it. The writers did a good job creating a manageable course from what is an unmanageable amount of information: several thousand years of history covering hundreds of different nations and cultures. It gives a broad framework and I look forward to learning more to fill in the gaps.

Covers a tonne of information on the history of indigenous peoples in Canada. I came here after reading a few books on First Nations history. This course has enabled me to learn more and will hopefully give me valuable knowledge that will benefit me and help my career path one day as a social worker wanting to immigrate to Canada in the future.

Insightful and well presented, this is was invaluable to me to understand the rich Indigenous history of this land. It is only through education that we can begin to have a large conversation about colonisation, and this course provides a starting point for those of us that are wanting to take steps towards truth and reconciliation. Thank you.

Thank you for creating this course! As a non Indigenous person, I am humbled by the experiences of the First Nations Peoples throughout history and in present day. I can only hope that more and more people will participate in this course to fully understand the issues and change the misconceptions that have been banded about.

All my relations.

I really enjoyed the course content and flexibility of learning. I’m a public, elementary school teacher in Ontario, and as such I was very excited to learn about so many important topics. I have recommended this course to many of my colleagues, and I truly believe that every Canadian teacher could benefit from this course. Thank you so much!!

Thank you for producing this course. As an immigrant childthat had to integrate into the majority culture, my education never included much detail or encouragement to learn about the First Peoples that lived prior to colonization. This course has been informative and enlightening and I hope this type of knowledge is imparted on to all peoples.

Excellent. Many thanks for helping me to learn and understand. I feel I am a better person now and can also relate more fully to my fellow human regardless of clan or creed. The insights gained from this course will help me in my work and also have inspired me in the way I teach my children about history, politics and compassionate living.

This was an eye opening course. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants/needs to learn about Canada's History. Amazing details and information flowed nicely with easy to follow speakers. Thank you for the oppertunity to learn about part of the Indegenous history. I will deffently be looking for more learning oppertunities like this.

I cannot begin to express how grateful to have taken this course. Finally, the true history of Canada is being taught. Thank you so much for the opportunity to learn so much about Indigenous Canada. This course design helped me immensely with the way I learn, and the varied sections of audio/visual, arts, interviews, and excellent presenters.

This course has opened my eyes to so many contemporary problems and stimulated my mind to keep processing all issues that surround us everyday: Indigenous causes, people of colour, intersectional feminism, environment, climate change, gender issues, lack of representation of so many minority groups in political structures, just to start with.

I greatly enjoyed this course. It was thought-provoking, beautiful, eye-opening, difficult, challenging but yet inspiring. I feel like I learned a lot and feel that I have a better sense of some of the history of indigenous peoples in Canada. It has inspired me to keep reading and learning and to be an active participant in reconciliation.

This really is a course that all Canadians should take to understand the history of this land and the implications of that history on our relations today. And the Youtube discussions with Dr. Bear, Dr. Gareau and Dan Levy were hugely beneficial to put everything into context. I recommend watching those week to week as you complete the course.
