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.

As a complete beginner to a subject I shamefully should know more about, I thought it was a very comprehensive and informative introduction. If its purpose was to inspire me to want to know more, it worked! Thank you!

The course was well laid out. The modules were easy to follow. The historical information was good. There certainly more info I would like to research now I know its there. The united nations declaration for example.

Great content and very informative. The repetitive music and style of the videos becomes a little boring and annoying at times. Also, some of the quiz questions are not worded well and can be difficult to interpret.

I really enjoyed taking this course. The content was clear and very thought provoking. I had some issues with the videos suddenly ending but overall, I would highly recommend this course. Thank you to the instructors.

So much information packed into a well organized course. The only thing I would change is that rather than using one artist at the end of every unit that they would highlight a wider variety of artists and art forms.

Being from South Africa, I had very limited information of indigenous people of Canada and their history. I found the course very interesting and informative. The colonialism story is so similar and familiar though.

Lectures and course material were good. Content was very informative and educational. Some of the test questions were poorly constructed and inconsistent with the wording/context of the course material and lectures.

A very informative and enjoyable course. This was definitely an area where I lacked knowledge. I now feel I have a much better understanding and grasp of the history, issues , and concerns of our Indigenous people.

Very informative course. Provided a unique look into past and current issues from a perspective that is not easy to access or understand. Thank you for all the hard work that must have went into this presentation.

This is a great introductory course for those with limited background knowledge about Canada's indigenous groups. I would have liked to see a bit more content about the Inuit people; especially in the arts module.

I really enjoyed this course. I learned a lot about indigenous culture. I would like to see more on-line course that expand on the modules in this course. One thing I would have like to have seen in the course was

Thoroughly enjoyed the course - For the last Week/Module, it would have been nice to see the art they were discussing, instead of having to Google it myself. Otherwise it was great - great content and presenters.

The course was extremely educational on the Indigenous people of Canada and their history.
Some weeks were a review if you have taken Indigenous studies course before.
Overall great course and would recommend it

I appreciate getting this great summary on Indigenous Canada. My goal is to learn more to assist in my prosecutions so I am dealing fairly with the Indigenous people in my court.
Thanks so much, H. Lynne Stewart

Great foundational knowledge and information. Authentically delivered. Quizzes were helpful to anchor information. Notes were also helpful. More interaction throughout the lectures would have been useful too.

Found the course very interesting and it certainly upped my understanding of the Indigenous in Canada. In Week 12 would have loved to see more pictures of the Indigenous works attributed to the various artists

I learned a lot from the course. Sometimes I found the quiz questions were not clear or had two or so answers that could be right and that was confusing.
Thank you very much for this enlightening course.

very informative, lots of video editing errors and I noticed that in some of the quizzes the answers I selected were marked as wrong even though the notes say that they're right.
I would take this course again.

Excellent overview and a really good intro to Native Issues in Canada. Will definitely be recommending to friends and family. However, the transcripts provided with the videos are in serious need of editing

Was a good hard look at what Canada was and is from a different perspective than one I usually see it from. I was challenged to think about Canadian history and the relationships between people living here.

As this course was online, additional pictures, stories, examples, etc. (something to help retain information as there is a lot of speaking) would be helpful. I can't believe how much I learned! Thank you!

This was a great introductory course with lots of interesting content. The interviews were incredible. I would have appreciated more visuals and videos especially when coverning more contemporary content.

Thank you for a well organized, comprehensive course. There is so much I did not know and I feel as if I have just scratched the surface. I will continue to make an effort to learn more.
