This was one of the best online courses I have taken. It was well written, great material related to my own personal development and gave me a better understanding of the Indigenous Peoples in Canada.

I majored in Native Studies during my BA 20 years ago, but I still learned a lot from this course. The units on art, gender roles, and Indigenous people in urban centers were especially interesting.

I really enjoyed this. Brings back a lot of things I learned as a child and forgot over the years. I recommend to those who don't know who they really are.

Wondeful course, helped me understand how we got here today. Everyone in Canada should take this course to help them understand why we need reconciliation.
