Every Canadian should take the time to take this course. It was refreshing to learn the history from Indigenous peoples' point of view. It is definitely an overview but gives on lots of information to think about. I have learned so much and will start exploring and learning more about many of the points brought up in the lectures.

This 12-week course takes the learner on a journey of understanding of the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island. Elaborating enough on the history and current issues to encourage the learned to delve into a deeper understanding of the past, current issues, and forge toward activism for future change. I highly recommend this course.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. I was drawn to all the videos, especially on the arts. As a musician I would have loved to had more information on indigenous music.

I enjoyed the format for this course and will be looking into further courses.

Thank you.

I'm so glad I committed to taking this course. I learned so much and enjoyed learning about First Nations culture, history and their contact with settler communities. I also learned a lot about my self, my world views and became consciously present that I am a settler of 2 countries in my life time and the ramifications of that.

Amazing course! I enjoyed having the option of watching the videos, reading the material or both. I learned so much about Indigenous Canada, more than I could ever expected. I have found a deeper and more meaningful understanding to the relationship with Canada- a very eye-awakening experience that all Canadians should experience.

I learned a great deal more about our Indigenous colleagues, neighbours, friends and family members. This includes elements of world views and core values I had been unaware of. This new information places the daily news of advances in the inclusion of First Nations to our scheme of nation building and economic growth strategies.

Exceptional course! Should be mandatory for all Canadian students.

The only issue I had was that the transcripts are riddled with errors. As a hearing person, I had no issues but any deaf or hard of hearing individuals would be negatively impacted.

Thanks you Indigenous Canada for this incredibly researched and informative course!

I am an 88 yr old retired military veteran of 34 years,this course should be included at grade 12 in all provinces of Canada.

Excellent course. I'm glad to have found such an engaging way to start to learn about the Indigenous histories of Canada. I was recommended the course by several friends, and recommended it to several more, and I know they are really enjoying it as well. I particularly loved the artwork commissioned for the course. Thanks so much!

This course provides extensive information, allows for a flexable study schedule and is motivating to continue learning of our Indigenous people. I truly hope for a massive curriculum overhaul in our elementary and secondary education systems to (finally) assimilate these teachings and facilitate a knowledge base for all of us.

I learned so much about the history of Canada's first peoples and the important role they continue to play in creating a country we can be proud of. As a colonizer there were times when I was ashamed of the self-righteous claims we have made to be an inclusive, welcoming country - we still have a looong way to go to achieve this.

As a settler of Turtle Island, this course has really helped me understand the history of this land and Canada through the Indigenous perspective. It also made me reflect in my own personal indigeneity as a person of colour. Thank you. Every immigrant to Canada should take this course. I've been sharing this course to my friends.

I loved the course, so in-depth on many of the past and current issues in our Country. I try my best to learn from the past and make up for what we colonizers have done. The biggest step is to learn about what we did and make amends from there. I almost strive to help people see the wrong in their judgements of the First Nations.

Great overview, thanks for the opportunity to experience this and expand my understanding! Particularly liked how Leah Dorion spoke about her art and process for this course. Also I continue to listen in on the Sunday afternoon forums with Dan Levy, which relate this course content to life lived outside of the Indigenous reality.

An eye opener for what has been going on in the land that we call it now Canada. I wish to learn more about the history and as a professor at Sheridan College, I would like to come with ideas to support Indigenous students in their learning journey. Thanks so much for the professors and teacher assistant, they did a great job :)

Excellent.

I learned a lot about the native inhabitants of Canada from this course. From the history, colonialism to the pre context, this course includes everything and is explained in a precise manner.

Thank you everyone who is involved in making this course, and teaching students/people about the Indigenous peoples of Canada.

This course is a very in-depth overview of history told from the perspective of the indigenous tribes of Canada and includes a unique view of cultural practices and the impacts of colonialism both past and present. I thoroughly enjoyed this course. It was easy to follow and the videos were well made. Thank you for the hard work.

Great introduction to the material. I highly recommend Indigenous Canada. It does a great job of demonstrating scope even though it does not have the capacity to cover everything in detail. The artwork videos are great at anchoring information from the lessons. The notes provided are also a great resource to review each lesson.

This course opened my eyes, ears and heart to an understanding of the history and present life of the First Nation, Metis and Unuit. So many things mentioned in the article will be looked up and researched. Through sharing my experience on social media, 4 of my friends and family are looking into taking the course.

Thank you.

This course was designed very well. I love the fact that each week's topic contributed to the upcoming weeks works. In a way they used storytelling approach to teach this course. It was brilliant. I love the art work they included at the end of each topic. I cannot wait to learn more about indigeneous histories and worldviews.

The interactive nature made going through this extensive material so easy. Very well thought out and engaging through its entirety. I'm taking this experience and looking to share with my employer in order to elevate our organization's level of awareness. This was AMAZING and a true GIFT!! Miigwetch from the bottom of my heart!

This course has been deeply impactful to my understanding of Canadian history and views of the land I occupy. It's also created new interest in continuing to learn more about indigenous experiences, art, world views and rights. I'm grateful to the people at UofA NativeStudies for putting this together in such an accessible way.

Generally very good and eye-opening. A lot of useful knowledge. Some redundancy that could have been trimmed to make way for seeing some of the actual artwork (paintings, etc.) discussed in the last lesson. Also, the glaring omission of Inuit artists such as Kenojuak Ashevak, Jessie Oonark, Judas Ullulaq, etc. is disappointing.

Fantastic history of the Indigenous People and their struggles. This course should be taught in schools as a mandatory course. Failure to learn from the past creates foundation for us to repeat the same mistakes. The course is reach in perspective. This is introductory that inspired me to learn more about the Indigenous People.

This was such a great course. I learned more in these twelve modules about the Indigenous peoples of Canada then I did in all my years of schooling. I am so glad I took the time to take the course. Every Canadian who has the means to do so, should take this course and then seek out ways to learn more. I know I will be doing so.
