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.

Well structure course, very insightful, I took away a lot from this course and think it is a great way to express Indigenous culture and history to those that may not have known much before taking this course

Previously took an Indegenous Culture course as a job requirement and in comparrision the previous course fell short. This course really dug into the why rather than spitting facts at the learner. Well done.

I am a retired math teacher and have not taken any history courses. This course was very interesting and broken in to smaller topics so easy to follow. There was so much that I knew nothing about. Thank you.

This course was really well balanced and provided clarity that is lacking in our educational systems and communications from settler leadership. Thank you so much for helping to further educate. Well done.

I really appreciated the new information, as well as insights into events I was already somewhat aware of. As a caucasian teacher, it is vitally important for me to learn history from multiple perspectives!

Confirmed and deepened my understanding of Canada and its slow progress to recognize the thanks and debt we owe to our indigenous co-inhabitants and their ancestors resulting from our colonization behaviour.

Very informative, i would like to take more courses like this and learn more about the struggles indigenous people face. Also, how we can help embrace and celebrate their culture without appropriating it.

I am humbled as a Canadian to learn of many pieces of extraordinary history and Indigenous context to our land. I was thrilled to partake in the course and hope all Canadian's get the opportunity to do so.
