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.

A great comprehensive overview of indigenous history and life in Canada. The only issue with the course is that it ended. I would love to see more courses like this from the University of Alberta and Coursera.

I learned so much during this course specifically, emotionally. I felt so sad, so often. I also felt much hope. I want to speak out more, to act more towards equity. Many thanks to the team which created this.

Very interesting course. The wide perspectives of the studies presented here make it involving, giving a different way of viewing a so important historical/anthropological question, so actual in north america.

I feel very satisfied with the course and I learned a lot. I wish the last session on Art had been more in depth showing more art of well known artists, Norval Morrisseau and soapstone carving of the Inuit.

The course was awesome and detailed. The presenters Voices were authentic and clear and the course material followed them well - especially in an audio course. Excellent job by the U of A Native Studies !!!!!
