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 think every settler in Canada should take this course to gain insight and awareness about the impact and legacy of colonization and to become more willing to work towards decolonization.

Excellent! I did not realize how little I knew about our own Canadian history. This stuff needs to be more a part of education in our school systems. Well presented and easy to understand.

This class is a MUST. You will end up with a clear understanding of the First Nations peoples culture and challenges. Only then will one be able to make an informed decision on the matter.

I found this course answered the question that would always sit in the back of my mind whenever I would hear of atrocities against indigenous people; "How did it come to this?" Thank you.
