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.

Excellent course that finally taught the true history of indigenous people. This is the knowledge that was never taught to us in school. Thank you for creating this course and making it available.

wonderful and interesting course. Of particular inters to me was the more western Canada perspective as most of my previous learning on this subject had been based on Eastern Canada perspectives.

I like the option where we can work at our own pace which is a huge positive on this course, and as an Aboriginal myself I learned a lot more about my culture than the time I spent in high school.

This course opened my eyes to a lot of information that is so important to keep teaching and so we do not erase the past or stay in the past.
Thank you to the instructors the course was well done!

I feel like I am saying goodbye to good friends, now that I have completed the course. What an excellent way to get more in touch with Canada's First Peoples!
Thank you, Coursera and U of Alberta.

Important information well presented. (Side note. I worked with the 1491's at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and was pleased to find them represented in the material.) Thank you for this gift.

Great course, it really changed how I view Canada's relationship with Indigenous peoples. There was just so much i didn't know and so much that I had been raised to believe that was not factual.

I found this course very humbly and informative. It was challenging at times to my inculcated White Body Supremacy, which I did not welcome and am doing what I can to decolonize myself of.
Thanks!

A very valuable courese. Having been raised in a uniquely settler cuture, it was hard to understand Indigenous issues without first examining Indigenous world view and recent indigenous history.

This was very informative. I learned things they never taught us in school about the fur trade. I feel like there's more to learn. I hope one day I can learn more. Thank you for the great course.

This is a very comprehensive course that has given me a much better perspective on the issues affecting aboriginal people in Canada. This contains information that challenges so many stereotypes.

Thank you for this!
The first few opportunities asked if there was interest in registering or certification of the course. Attempts at finding this invitation have been unsuccessful. Can you help?
