Thanks for teaching me a lot about indigenous history in Canada. I am inspired to learn more. I just finished Chelsea Vowel’s book, Indigenous Writes and I’m currently reading the summary of the RCAP.

Set up perfectly to educate and introduced Indigenous concepts not taught in traditional Canadian educational systems. Great way to learn at your own pace and point you into a variety of topical areas.

This course has given me a better understanding of the history and culture of the Indigenous people.
I strongly support the idea of educating the younger generation in elementary or high school as well.

Very interesting and activating. Makes you think about all the good things that existed in Canada befor the Europeans arrived and all the bad behaviours from the EUropeans. Such a pity we never learn.

To truly heal as a nation, we must all walk the path of reconciliation. The first step is education. Gratitude to University of Alberta for lighting the way by unpacking Canada's complicated history.

I learned much about the First nation people of Canada. I agree with the modest life that they lived together with nature but most of all I like their art which bring out festivity and cheerfulness.

This was a really great course-I learned so much. I thought the course was very well organized and each module brought many perspectives that I hadn't really been exposed to throughout my education.
