Highly informative and really eye opening to lots of different facets of historical and contemporary issues faced. Readings and Video lectures were well made and written and supported each other well! Will definitely be taking this knowledge further and incorporating it into every day interactions in the world

Fantastic course that gave me the framework and tools that I have been looking for on my path to reconciliation. It has helped me, as a settler, to understand the historical context of current news and politics affecting the Indigenous community. Thank you Tracy, Paul and all your guest speakers. Well done!

This course was very informative and eye-opening. I'm Canadian and have lived here all my life but as a white person I never really took the time to learn about the people who lived here first. This course opened my eyes to a lot of things and I will never be the same. Every Canadian should take this course!

Thank you so much for providing this course. I learned a lot about Canada from the Indigenous perspective. I am a 45-year-old born and raised Albertan, who learned about the Aztecs in school. While there is nothing wrong with that, it would have been more beneficial to have learned Canadian history!. Cheers :)

Amazing course! Having learned the history of Quebec and Canada through a colonizer lens this course was a real eye opener for me. I feel it should be mandatory education for all high schoolers and integrated within the Canadian history curriculum... thanks you for providing this amazing learning experience!

I learned a lot of detail about the indigenous culture, history, and art. The topics that are chosen for instruction are great. I highly recommend this course to every Canadian whether they are born here or immigrated, but especially to people who are in the education field of study and profession. Thank you.

I'm so glad I took this course. I learned so much and was inspired to learn even more, moving forward. As a mother, Canadian and ESL teacher I feel strongly that it's essential for me to learn more about my country, especially our indigenous history. Everyone should take this course. Thank you!

Une belle introduction. Le cours est très informatif et a une multitude de vidéo. Les sujets abordés lors du cours donne assez d'information pour ceux qui en connaissent peu. Ce que j'ai aimé est que j'ai eu un point de départ pour continuer mes lectures et mes propres recherhes. Je vous le suggère fortement.

I am so grateful for the sharing of knowledge in this course, this is so much more than what we learned in school (Canadian school system). If we do not educate ourselves we cannot participate in change and reconciliation. This course was easy to follow, well laid out and user friendly. Thank you for sharing.

Very well presented and interesting. Has a lot of information that I didn't learn in school in the 90's. Visually interesting. The test weren't too hard but enough to make sure that you paid attention to the material as you went through. Very well done close captioning which I find helpful because of my ADHD.

I enjoyed the pace of the course, the mixture of videos and accompanying text was very helpful to follow along. Having a module booklet was a great reference tool to show/ share with others the stories. I would recommend this course to anyone who is interested in a different point of view on Canadian history.

The course content is excellent and I learned a great deal. I would highly recommend it to others.

The quizzes could be improved, however. The wording in the questions and the multiple choice answers needs to be more clear, and the questions should focus on the overall ideas and concepts, not specific details.

Really interesting content, with a ton of variety and in an appropriate order. The videos were well done relative to most Coursera courses I’ve participated in. The addition of the artist segments each week is an interesting way of seeing the information take life. I would absolutely recommend this course.

I enjoyed this course very much. The videos combined with written notes increased my learning substantially. Tracy Bear, Alannah Mandamin-Shawanda and Isaac Twinn were very impressive presenters! I also enjoyed the art presentations and interpretations. I will definitely recommend this course to others.

Even though I live in the United States, now I know more about where some of my ancestors came from, how they got to Montana, the impacts of colonialism and generational trauma. It wasn't just about learning about indigenous people and Canadian history. For me, it was personal and healing in some reguards.

this was an excellent course and i highly recommend it. There is a large volume of content but its presented well. I found the information thought provoking and educational and this left me questioning why we werent taught this history sooner... which is why such courses are essential in moving foreward.

This course should be taken by all non-Indigenous Canadians to understand the history of where we live and the ongoing struggles and accomplishments of the Indigenous peoples of this nation. Thank you for bringing to light a side of our history that was not taught in school, at least not in the 80's & 90's.

The course was both informative and thought-provoking, and filled in all the 'blanks' in my knowledge of Canadian Indigenous history and colonialism, missing from the texts I studied in my school days. The instructors were interesting and they made it easy to commit a couple of hours each week to the course.

Many thanks for offering this course to the public at such a critical time. There is no substitution for people being able to tell their own stories and having the time to listen and learn from that perspective. I feel like the gap I had in my public education has started to be bridged. Fabulous presenters.

Excellent presentations, bringing a greater understanding of Indigenous lives. I am Metisb but grew up knowing nothing of the culture. Learned much about Canadian history as a child, but learning of many of the events from an Indigenous perspective was an amazing learning experience. thank you for doibg this

As a 3rd generation settler, I learn a lot of history about our country that I was never taught in our education system. I am humbled and enlightened, and look forward to using this information, while gaining more knowledge of our true history, to work toward making Canada a more inclusive, accepting, place.

I really enjoyed the course and I would like to learn more. I would have liked to see more old photos from history files. I feel the Canadian public schools should really teach our children this history! Thank you to the advocacy groups for your fight to protect the lands and keep our government accountable.

I am very thankful to have had access to this course. I convocated from the University of Manitoba in 1994 and that is the last time that I took an Indigenous Studies class. This was well done and I enjoyed the accessibility! I could complete it on my own time in my own home. I learned so much! Thank you

the only sad thing is i wanted to upgrade to recive a cert which i cant seem to be able to do

Fantastic course and whenever I have the opportunity to talk to others about it I encourage them to take the time to enroll in the course. This is a necessity for ALL Canadians to learn about the history of our country and open up paths of conversation in order for reconciliation to be genuine and possible.
