Amazing course! The content was visually engaging, the speakers were animated and the amount of content that was covered was impressive. I found myself talking about what I learned to my family almost every night. The quizzes were challenging and appropriate to the content that was covered. I highly recommend this course.

As a museum professional, this course intersects with everything I have and will do in my line of work. I can't think of a more important learning tool for myself, and I will be sending it to other museum professionals as well with a glowing recommendations to encourage them to take it as well. Thank you thank you thank you.

This course has given an incredibly rich insight into our history as people from this part of the world, Canada. Thank you for sharing such an in-depth view of the Indigenous peoples history and transporting it into the larger global village scope! It has been an emotionally stirring and invigorating journey.

I took this course to as a community citizen looking to learn more about Indigenous histories. 5 stars to the Native Studies department of University of Alberta. My eyes have been opened to truly understanding Canada's foundational formation as a country. I am grateful you have made this course accessible to all. Thank you.

This course is such an important resource for all Canadians, I learned elements of our history that I wish were taught when I was in grade school. the Indigenous culture is rich and should be celebrated in all its forms. I encourage everyone to take the time to learn the history and presence of Indigenous peoples in Canada.

Very informative and professional videos. Lectures were clear and comprehensive. Reading notes served as great study material for quizzes. I appreciate that the completion dates are flexible, this allowed me to complete on my own time so that I was not rushed. I think this is a course that anyone would learn something from.

Very informative and well taught. Very professional and friendly presentation. These are knowledgeable individuals that kindly shared their knowledge with the world - thank you. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is looking to begin the journey of understanding the Indigenous cultures of Canada and reconciliation.

Thank you so much for sharing your stories and providing such an accessible way to learn. It's shifted my perspective on Canada's relationship with indigenous peoples in a major way. I've recommended this course to several of my friends already and I will definitely be pursuing more courses in indigenous studies after this.

This is a great course about Indigenous Canada. As a participant, I have learnt the perspective of understanding of how the colonial migration uprooted indigeous peoples of North America, how they navigated the changing landscape they had occupied while striving to sustain their culture, language, art and other practice.

A sincere thank you for offering this free course on Indigenous Canada. I have gained knowledge & a framework for discussion & conversation with others about the history of Canada & it’s people.

Locally I have participated in conferences on Truth & Reconciliation & am encouraged to use my voice after taking this course.

This course is accessible and informative. I learned about the history, culture and politics of Canada in a way that was never presented to me in my public school and university studies. I recommend it for anyone who is keen to find out how much we do not know, and to begin the important re-learning of the story of Canada.

I gained a significant amount of knowledge and understanding of Indigenous Peoples both historic and contemporary. As someone who would fit into the mold of settler society, it provided much insight into the colonization of Indigenous Peoples and the ongoing impacts today. I highly recommend this course for all Canadians.

As a recent immigrant to Canada, I appreciate the opportunity to learn so much about the indigenous peoples who settled here. This course will provide you with an adequate grounding in the concepts of indigenous thought, culture, history, and problems. I appreciate the efforts of everyone involved in creating this course.

I learned so many amazing things in this course, some I was shocked at, others I wasn't. I was fascinated by the resiliance of the people to maintain their lives in the face of such oppression. And I've learned how to better not be a part of that oppression and instead be a better ally. Thank you so much for this course!

Although I did not know what to expect when I chose to take this course, working through the modules has resulted in a process of re-contextualizing and rebuilding my understanding of Aboriginal culture. I did not realize the truly colonial implications and misunderstandings of history that I had adopted without question.

5 stars for sure!!! I enjoyed the material in this course and I also liked the format. I liked that I could go as slow or fast as I wanted and I liked that I could watch the videos and the lines highlighted as it went along or I could read at my own speed. Great course, glad I had the opportunity to take it. Thank you.

Excellent Course. The speakers were very good and kept my interest. The course moved along at a good pace and was overflowing with knowledge. I did struggle with a few of the quizzes in that I answered correct but it was graded as incorrect - seems others had this issue as well. I really enjoyed all aspects of the course.

An excellent course which is informative, well delivered and very captivating. I feel that some of the multiple choices in the quizzes were ambiguous, while some others were a little too petty. There were occasional hiccups in the videos for delivery but the course notes made up for them. Really well delivered. Thank you.

This course was a great eye-opening experience. Well taught with engaging topics. It inspires you to learn more and critically think about the history you've learned, the present case of Indigenous life in modern times, and how the future can be shaped with respect. I would recommend this course to anyone, it was amazing.

Fantastic course - comprehensive view of the history, sociology and culture of Indigenous Canadians that highlights their resilience in the face of settler-colonialism, genocidal practices and disenfranchisement in the Canadian state. Thought provoking, covering a cross-section of topics and the videos were well produced.

Excellent!! Very informative, challenging and fun. Lots to learn about our history And how that history is still alive and well today. There are so many issues in regards to Indigenous Canada that have still not been resolved Shameful, really!! I enjoyed this course very much. Look forward to more on Indigenous Canada.

This is a course well-worth taking. I learned a lot about Indigenous history and contemporary issues. The course content was informative and the speakers throughout the course shared good information. Thank you for the opportunity to increase my learning and awareness about Indigenous/non-Indigenous relations in Canada.

I moved to Canada from the UK just over two years ago and I found myself knowing little of Canadian indigenous culture. This course has provided insight into indigenous cultures through history, politics, gender, religion and the arts. I would recommend every Canadian and non-Canadian to take this course, it is essential!

Thank you for making this course available to me. This course has greatly increased my understanding of Indigenous Canadian history. It has provided an important corrective to my prior views of indigenous peoples.

Thank you again for a fascinating and I trust a fair presentation of Indigenous history in Canada.

Really excellent course! I have told all my colleagues and friends they need to take this course. It should be mandatory for all non-Indigenous Canadians to learn about Indigenous peoples in Canada in this detail. My lifelong learning journey continues as I reflect in my role in reconciliation, and this is a great start.
