Thank you so much for this awakening of so much meaningful and valuable education of the indigenous people. I wish I would of had this when I was growing up but now I know my children will know the true history of the first and most beautiful people of Canada! I will appreciate this culture even more.

A million thanks from the bottom of my heart for this course. It has given me a much deeper understanding of Canada's colonial history and the ways in which indigenous peoples are fighting for their freedom. I hope to take what I've learned from this course to become a better ally for indigenous rights.

An exceptionally informative and concise course that aided in growing my appreciation for the Indigenous culture and the difficulties Indigenous people have endured. I enjoyed how hopeful the future perspectives were, and look forward to seeing more Indigenous influence in our modern settler society.

Tansi, as a Treaty 4 women Entrepreneur I

was so excited to start this course and learn about my culture which was lost due to a very successful

Residential school my Kookum went to.Miigwech

for having this course free and I strongly recommend

it to anyone wanting to learn about our beautiful

culture.

This course was an eye-opener to the history of Indigenous Peoples and the settling of Canada. I have learned a great deal and I think that I will examine current indigenous issues with a far greater understanding of worldviews, governance, treaties and how they apply to reclaiming rights. Thank you.

I have learned so much from this course. It saddens me to think I have gotten to the age of 66 before I took an Indigenous Studies course. It should be mandatory for anyone who calls themselves Canadian to take this course. Congratulations to the course writers. A well written and interesting course.

Amazing content! This should be shared in all high schools as a part of our history. I feel deprived of this rich part of our history in Canada! I never truly knew, to this depth, the subject of Indigenous peoples. This was a great course! Thank you University of Alberta for making this available!

I have learned so much that it is hard to put all this into words. Thank you so much for offering this course, I believe every Canadian should take it as we need to understand so we can do better. It was a great mix of watching videos that were split up and easy to follow. Thanks again to all involved.

Thoroughly enjoyed the course and course learning. Instructors were clear and concise in their presentations. Loved the art work and explanation on relevance to course content by Leah Dorian. Opened my mind about indigenous past, present and future thought process. Will recommend to others to register.

This was the first time I ever participated in a course like this. I am so happy that I did. I learned a lot of things that I never knew. Things that are not taught in the schools, especially when I grew up in the 50’s!

Keep up the good work. I wish this could be a part of every school’s curriculum!

I really enjoyed this course! There some glitches but the information was excellent. I liked that I could go back anytime to review and also the presentation changed up and also the narration with the highlighted written information was really helpful to keep me om task. I highly recommend this course.

Great course that opened up many areas I have since persued within Indigenous history. Made me think about my own families Metis connection and how it affected my family. I will continue to research some of these subjects you have discussed here to further my understanding of the Indigenous community

I found this to be a very informative and eye opening course. It was important to learn of the struggles of the indigenous peoples of North America and humbling to see how they have managed to maintain their distinction in a highly assimilative environment. Thank you for providing such an experience.

This was a well curated course. I learned a lot more about the Indigenous people of this land that we call Canada and the way it is taught is very refreshing and challenges you to seek out more information to fill in the gaps. Thank you for offering this invaluable information that anyone can access!

Exceptional course, I really enjoyed this (and wish there was a part two)! It showed me how many horrific gaps there are in my knowledge, and gave me just enough to start my own research trails. The presenters are informative and excellent, with fantastic art and interesting interviews. Very well done.

Incredible well-done course. This is a course that should be taught at the grade-school level, country-wide. Everything I had the opportunity to learn here is an important part of this country's history and is an important part of having a more well-rounded and full understanding of history. Thank you!

Very eye-opening for me. I grew up in Southern Alberta, which is very much Indigenous territory, so I grew up around Aboriginal people and know more about their culture than other people around the world do on average. But, even with that background, I learned lots, and as a result, I loved the course.

Excellent course. I've gained a new understanding of how indigenous women were stripped of the dignity and rights they once had by colinization. This course, in whole, has further opened my eyes to the importance of the Indigenous people and thier vast role in the history of the land we call Canada.

Learnt more about indigenous cultures in Canada I this 12-week course than I did at any point previously. Very well-balanced, some modules are a bit harder to get into (treaties, law, etc), but others are very captivating (Women and gender, cultural practices, art). Overall really enjoyed this course.

provides an overview of some elements that encourages further study. It also provides an indepth look at key points in history that provide individuals with key information missing from the education system. thank you for the opportunity to learn and further understand the plight of indigenous culture

This was an excellent course, and I truly learned so many things. Very much appreciate learning more history from the Indigenous perspective. Easy to access the course materials and well sectioned to be able to take time between pieces to digest and get a more fulsome understanding of the information.

This course is very informational and it presents a vital perspective in today’s world. I would suggest this course to anyone and everyone seeking to learn more about racism in Canada from an Indigenous perspective. Thank you to those who put this course together - I am forever changed for the better.

This course is incredibly informative and should be required for all Canadians. Although I learned much of this in university as part of my pre-service teacher training, it provides a succinct overview of much of the content I learned with the addition of exploring other topics such as gender and art.

I feel so enriched to have taken part in the learning offered by this course. I commend all those involved in the research, production, narration and transcription of the course and look forward to the chance to learn even more in the future, should U of A develop any more Indigenous studies courses.
