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.

A must take for all Canadians. Settler Canadians (such as myself) be ready to unlearn much of what you were taught in school
