Very well done. I had no technical issues. The pace and presentation of the course is great. The content was very informative and factual. I really appreciated this course and it contributed significantly to my understanding of colonialism, First Nations, and some of the issues that need to be addressed as Canadians.

So grateful for this course! Answered many of my questions about past and present Indigenous cultures. Appreciated the mix of auditory and visual components and the overviews to review. Loved the paintings. It seemed like a lot of information at first but it is very accessible. I hope to review the content again.

Excellent course. This should be a mandatory course for every student in school because when i went to school back in the day none of this information was every taught. As a result you have a lot of adult non indigenous population living today not knowing the truth for a path forward in reconciliation. Thank you!

Great overview of Indigenous history and current issues in Canada. As someone who immigrated to Canada a few years ago, this serves as a good introduction to the diversity of Indigenous Peoples and their cultures. It gives me more context and a better understanding of my knowledge gaps and where to focus my actions.

Easy to follow course. Great learning and a step toward reconciliation and understanding my white privilege. Learned a lot about the country I call home and how we still live on unceded land. Would highly recommend as course only requires 1 hour of weekly work for 12 weeks and teaches a lot of material in that time.

Great course to understand Indigenous history and perspectives. Through this course I was able to appreciate and explore the various cultural, spiritual, philosophical and political themes in Indigenous worldviews. I highly recommend this course and kudos to the The University of Alberta’s Faculty of Native Studies!

This was a very well presented course. I have always had much respect for our Indigenous Peoples and have wanted to know the truth about how and why history played out like it did. This course has done just that. I am so grateful to be walking away with the knowledge I have gained. Thank you Indigenous Canada.

I found the course to be excellent. I appreciated the Written Notes that accompanied each week.

I felt that the presenters were clear & provided information in a succinct fashion. I am coming away

from this course with a much clearer appreciation of the issues.

Thank you for making it available.

Take care - Susan Mintz

I learned so much.

Could you create a course for students? There were so many important ideas I need my grade 8’s to understand in relation to Canadian confederation which is their history curriculum. I can speak to the ignored Indigenous voices a little better now, but your videos and lessons are far more powerful

This course was incredibly informative, eye opening and helped me to continue my knowledge pursuit for Indigenous histories, cultures, practices, etc. The one thing I wish would be that they incorporated more traditional ways of learning, such as story-telling, rather than only lecture. Regardless, 10/10 recommend.

Excellent course that presents a lot of information. I had to do some background reading in a few lessons because (as an American) my knowledge of Canadian history is limited. I especially appreciate how this course covers largely the 20th century and into the 21st, and covers the arts as well as treaties and laws.

Thank you for this opportunity to learn what I have never been taught. I feel this course has opened my mind to what indigenous people have dealt with for 100’s of years. It will make me more mindful and informative of what the Canada I want to live in looks like moving forward. I hope to build on this foundation.

Great overview of just how little we learn in our school systems about the peoples and cultures of this country. I wish this was a course offered in high schools all across Canada, so that we may come into adulthood as better people.

Very interesting course; gave me something to look forward to during the pandemic!

Not only does this course effectively dive into so many concepts that were either misrepresented or simply glossed over in K-12 education, it was also designed to easily be one of the best, if not the best online course I have taken. The delivery is very well done, easy to digest, but also impactful and engaging.

This course was great. Emotionally challenging at times but it not only taught me about indigenous people of Canada/North America, it gave me insight to my own family history and the struggles of my ancestors that I previously to this course had not been aware of. Thank you to all that made this course possible.

The course was so interesting and full of excellent, pertinent and hard to hear facts and information of Indigenous history, struggles, culture, art and life. I certainly want to learn more and hope to have access to this course in the future. Thank you for putting it together. I LOVED the three speakers also. :)

This course is so comprehensive in its exploration of Indigenous ways of being and knowing from past to present. I thoroughly enjoyed learning more about the First Peoples upon whose land I reside. Thank you Tracy and team for all of the hard work put into this course. I continue to recommend it any chance I get.

Course content including historical information, significant steps taken by both Indigenous people and government were eye-opening and seemed to be fair assessments of the Canadian history. Thank you for new insights. I trust that I might continue to learn and in some way contribute to the work of reconciliation.

Much of this course reveals the failure of the Canadian public school system when I was a child. Some of this was review from my university days but the way this course was organized and presented was pure gift. What an incredible resource! This has deeply changed how I think and what I believe. I am so grateful.

A real eye-opening course and great introduction to the study of Indigenous Canada. It helped start to fill in the many large gaps that are missing from my knowledge of the Indigenous peoples of Canada, and has prompted me to engage in further Indigenous studies. Thank you for offering this very essential course!

This was very helpful and informative, very personal, and there were many angry moments, hurt moments, and needed momoments. A lot I did not know about colinization, things my father did not share, I am assuming to protect us. It will help me with my clients in the futuer. Thank you for the shared knowledge!

This coure was hugely insightful into the history and present day challenges associated with Indigenous peoples of Canada. As a resident, I believe this course should be part of the Canadian Citizenship test so newcomers can gain valueable understanding and recognition of Canadian history and Indigenous culture.

Thank you for giving me a snap shot of understanding into Indigenous views regarding Canada's beginning. This is just the beginning of my journey of understanding and respecting others processes and journeys. A great start to develop my understandings and assist me with looking into history through others views.

Epic Course! This has been a transformational Journey of learning. The art work, music, professors, I thank you all for this amazing learning experience! I'm feeling sad this journey has ended, but the knowledge I have gained will live on forever, to be shared explored and continued. With deep gratitude, thanks!
