This is an excellent course that I would recommend to everyone in Canada. I learnde a lot about the history or colonization and gained a good understanding of Indigenous issues in contemporary 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.

Overall it was very informative. I was however disappointed that the Maritimes were not recognized and discussed as I feel they should have been.

Great introduction to the topic - for some weeks I wish there would have been maybe book recommendations if you wish to further your knowledge.

It was a very informative course, there were some inconsistencies between the videos, the notes and the quizes. Should be checked for accuracy.

There was many new learnings in the course and helped to reframe previous education from a traditional education from a colonial perspective.

A more balanced approach would be helpful. Were there not wars, famines, etc before settlers arrived? Were elders and tradition always right?

Some questions on the quiz were tricky, but they could be more about emphasizing reading the notes. Other than that, it was a great course!

It needs to update but good history. I especially enjoyed Week 12 on Indigenous Art. I would have liked to see more of the artists work.

I wish that they teach more about why they call " Indian", Religion, Canada name history. I found that questions for quiz a little long.
