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.

Very well put together, informative course. This history needs to be taught at the high school level to ensure more people know and understand the history of our indigenous people and the true history of Canada.

I really enjoyed this course. I learned so much more than what was taught in school. I got the whole picture and what really happened.
Only wish that I had had the money to get the certificate when I started it.

This is an excellent way to learn about the history of our shared land. As a settler, it made me reflect deeply about my responsibilities to Truth and to Reconciliation. I learned that my learning will never end.

This course was more informative then what I have learnt in school about Indigenous Canadian History. I am really grateful this course was offered. I have already recommended to a few people to take the course.

I am grateful this course was developed! I believe this is something all Canadians (who are old enough to have been educated in our false, colonial curriculum should learn a more honest history of this county.

Hi, I'm glad I took this course. I learned so much. It was a lot of information and so much more than that. It took me more time than it stated to complete each week, but that is the way I learn. Thank you.

This is the type of content that should be representated in the High School curiculum. Knowledge is power and we must learn the true history of Canada in order to reconcile Indigenous communities and colonisers.

So informative and well done! I feel that I have gained more of an understanding of indigenous culture, worldview, and history while recognizing the devastating impact of colonial culture upon our First Nations.

So helpful and wonderfully administered. This makes me proud of the institutional efforts to enact pillars of the TRC and hopefully, this education will bolster my actions and duties as a settler in this nation.

I thought I knew a great deal of the [Canadian] First Nations history and story. I was wrong! This was very well prepared and presented. I am that much better for taking this course as a Canadian. Thank you.

This course was an excellent learning opportunity. I was able to learn and understand about the Indigenous Peoples in Canada. It was an eye opener in regards to what colonialism can do to a culture and a nation.

Always enjoy these courses. Excellent. Very enjoyable without being overwhelming. The Fist Nation Languages are offered at U o T for free I've heard. I'm just an old man trying to keep his marbles together.

Wonderful and sometimes provocative history of the Indigenous people. I now appreciate your fight for justice for ownership of territorial lands and keenness to maintain your culture in a difficult environment.

Excellent! Thank you for all the hard work in creating this amazing course. I would recommend reducing the number of modules by half, create another course, and expand a little bit more on some of the material.

I learned a lot about Indigenous people in Canada and I would highly recommend this course. I wish our history books reflected the whole story and not just the settler's POV. Thank you for creating this course!

This course provides a comprehensive study of Indigenous history in Canada, and also explores a number of contemporary issues that relate to Indigenous rights and culture. It is well worth the time and effort!
