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.

I found this course very informative and uncomfortable. We have so much work to do to heal the deep wounds of racism that exists because of our continued colonial attitudes towards the First Peoples of this land.

Very much enjoyed the course as it was basic history we should have all learned in our early years. I went and reviewed references that were mentioned and it was great to learn more than the Cree where i grew up.

The course was wonderfully paced so that learning all the information about Canada's colonialism and Indigenous People was able to be done in a way to really understand and absorb the important history of Canada.

This course gives a very good Indigenous perspective, which most people do not know. I learned so many valuable pisces of the true history of Canada and will teach them more responsibly to my elementary students.

The course was comprehensive, in terms of Indigenous Culture, history and the impact of the actions of Europeans and Canadian government on Indigenous peoples. It was extremely informative and thought provoking.

Comfort and growth cannot co-exist and that is true for this course. But in the uncomfortableness lies the truth. I am honoured to have had the opportunity to learn more about the true history of Turtle Island.

Wonderful course! I hope there is an update soon to include more recent examples to remind us all how important it is to support, listen to, and understand the people who cared for this land before it was stolen.
