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 learned so much in this course. My formal education was woefully inadequate to inform me about Indigenous Peoples in Canada. Sad because we are all

Very interesting. The world views are not as i thought. I would guess i was using my colonial ways of my world. I hope to see things differently now.

Very informative and non partisan. I am more aware of the reasons First Nations groups are formed. No one ever explains this in school . Thank you!
