This course provided me with a better understanding of the struggles of indienous people and how colonization had a negative and long reaching impact for this group. I now have a better understanding of how the trauma is passed on to the next generations

Very well conducted course that has brought enlightenment and awareness to my understanding of the indigenous peoples of Canada. All Canadians should take this course to help dispel any myths, stereotypes and prejudices regarding our indigenous peoples.

This was a very interesting and informative course. It would be interesting to break down some of the topics into their own courses to allow a deeper exploration of certain topics. Thank you for this over view and sharing of history of Indigenous people.

I am an immigrant from Mexico, living in Canada for 34 years and the truth is that I have never had the opportunity to really know the rich culture of the first settlers of Canada.

My perception of these great nations has turned 360 degrees.

Thanks a lot.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. It was a lot of information however, the videos and readings were very easy to follow. It has given me a new perspective on Canadian history for sure! Thank you to University of Alberta and the Faculty of Native Studies.

Excellent matériel éducatif, instructif et offrant un large spectre de connaissance dans différents domaines permettant de comprendre le passé, le présent, et de préparer l'avenir pour celles et ceux qui souhaitent créer un univers respectueux de chacun.

A really well-done course and very eye-opening. It highlights the issues with today's educational system, as I believe every Canadian should learn more about our history, whether good or bad. I will also be pursuing more detail into many of these topics.

Amazing experience. Well-rounded course covering issues from the origins of Turtle Island up to today, from early partnerships to modern treaties, all while tackling head-on historical threats from residentials schools to today's systemic discrimination.

I believe that everyone should take this course. If for nothing more than to gain a greater understanding of our Indigenous Peoples. The course was very well presented. The only problem I found was that the readings were strictly a rehash of the lectures

I appreciated how the course gave a broad overview of the history of Indigenous People in Canada and worked it's way through more recent and present issues. I was pleased to see a whole week devoted to art and to end the course on this was wonderful.

I really enjoyed this course and I feel like I learned a lot about the Indigenous peoples of Canada. I really liked that although the course did focus on such issues as resedential schools and MMIWG, it also talked aboit Indigenous artists and culture.

This is a well put together, eye opening course that is absolutely necessary for those of us who call Canada home to learn the history of our country. Through collective knowledge and understanding of our history we can work towards true reconciliation.

I found this course incredibly informative and extremely interesting. With the weekly modules broken into stand-alone segments, it was easy to incorporate into the week. As a Metis learning about my heritage late in life, the course helped this journey.

This course was fantastic and so enlightening. It has prompted so many further questions that I am eager to explore. Thank you to the organizers for your generosity in sharing and for this important work. Critical education for all who reside in Canada.

I am a proud Canadian and the Indigenous Canada course was extremely educational. During my employment part of my training was a lecture on Indigenous history in North America. I also had the honor to meet The Chippewas Of Georgina Island First Nation.

This course was a fantastic introduction in to Indigenours history, and contemporary issues. Anyone interested in having a better understanding of Indigenous culture MUST take this course. It was great that I could complete this course at my own pace.

I think that every student in high school should take a course similar to this one. This was by far one of the most informative classes that I've ever taken and I have two degrees! Thank you so much for filling me in on the REAL history of this country!

I'm very glad to have been given the opportunity to learn about Indigenous history, culture, and world views. This course has filled in many gaps left by the high school and university level history and social studies classes I have taken. Thank you!

Highly recommend this course. It's all the context and nuance we weren't given in school regarding Indigenous history. It is a critical piece as we digest current affairs from a non-colonial perspective, and seek full understanding of our entire nation.

The material presented in the course was informative, well presented, and provided a new appreciation of various indigenous cultures throughout Canada. Much appreciated!! I will definitely be recommending this course to family, friends, and colleagues.

Thank you so much for such a detailed, informative, and engaging collection of lessons. I thought I had a basic knowledge of many of the topics only to see that in reality, I know very little. Thank you for these difficult but necessary conversations.

I think this was a great starting point to learn about the First Nation Peoples of Canada, and the effects of colonization. The instructors were very engaging.

Course artist, Leah Dorian is simply amazing . Her work is passionate, vibrant and emotive.

The course offered me the chance for an condensed overview of First Peoples' in Canada. I have studied some of Indigenous Studies, now, to see a wider, more in dept, look and listening I feel more connected or understand my and our Turtle Island people.

This very informative course is an essential resource for anyone looking to gain a comprehensive understanding of Indigenous issues. It’s both educational and thought-provoking, making it a highly recommended experience for students of all backgrounds.

Very informative and thourough, i would like a bit more visuals during the presentations, but otherwise I am very happy that I took part and gained knowledge about Indegineus people, thier culture, thier pracitces and thier overall history. Thank you.
