Thank you for offering this course . It was extremely enlightening and will spur me on to investigate further in order to better understand First Nation , Metis and Inuit peoples and their initial and continuing contributions to Canada .

"Indigenous Canada" should be a required course in either high school or first year university in Canada. This course presents a uniquely indigenous perspective of the colonization of Canada and the damage done to its native inhabitants.

Thoroughly enjoyed this very informative and enlightening course. The course provides a very detailed outline of the history of indigenous peoples in Canada, and provides important insight into the current status in today's world. Thanks!

Thank you dear professors and instructors for reducing my ignorance. I am so happy to have had an opportunity to learn a little about the Indigenous peoples of Canada and I hope that you would offer more online courses in the near future.

This course was fantastic and made me so much more aware of the history, beauty, historical and contemporary issues, and so much more of the Indigenous Peoples of Canada. I highly recommend this course to all people, especially Canadians!

This course is exactly the overview I needed to learn about indigenous history and current life. I recommend this course highly to all Canadians - it certainly rounded out my fractured knowledge and sharpened my awareness. Many thanks!

I learned so much. The content was both thoughtful and thought provoking. I really liked the use of many visual pieces, story telling, and music throughout. The various speakers were really effective at bringing in different perspectives.

I very much enjoyed the course. I realize I knew very little about our Indigenous community. I have always enjoyed the Indigenous art work. I hope to learn more about the community in the future.

Thank you for making this course available!

THERE IS SO MUCH HISTORY THAT I AS A SETTLER CANADIAN DID NOT KNOW. iT ANGERS ME THIS IS NOT ADRESSED IN SCHOOL. iT HAS HELPED ME TO UNDERSTAND THE COLINIZERS RESPONSIBILITY TO UPHOLD PROMISES OF THE PAST. I WILL BE LESS COMPLACENT AND MO

Every Canadian needs to take this course. You don’t know what you don’t know. Here is your chance to learn and better understand that our Nation’s pathway forward can include all the cultural riches of beautiful Indigenous ways of being.

This course is an incredible primer and should be required reading for all secondary students in Canada. I have learned so much and especially that there is so much more to learn about indigenous peoples. Thank you to all those involved!

This was a compelling course filled with such important material. I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to enrol and begin my process of learning. Deep gratitude to U of A, Instructors, TAs, and Coursera for making this possible.

Excellent and informative Course. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a better understanding of indigenous issues and some root causes to disputes that are on-going. Thank you UofA and coursera for making this information accessible.

Very informative! I appreciated hearing about Indigenous culture, stories, issues, art etc. from a purely Indigenous perspective. It helped me to understand and acknowledge even more the beauty and the struggles of the Indigenous people.

I loved this course. Much of the content was new to me and the instructors did a wonderful job presenting it. If there is a follow up course I would sign up for it quickly. Also if there is a book covering the material I would buy it.

Learned how much was missing from my primary and secondary education programs. Thank you for putting this together and making it easy to access. It is a great intro to some of the cultures and the history of Indigenous people in Canada.

Never have I enjoyed a course as much as this one. Why this course is not mandatory in Canada is a mystery. So many problems could be solved through this type of education. Thank you for this wonderful gift. Kind regards, Janice Parente.

Je me trouve vraiment chanceuse d’avoir eu cette opportunité de suivre le cours. J’ai tellement appris de choses! C’est incroyable et tres touchant! Je suis enormement reconnaissante! Merci! Super bon cours bien organiser et interessant!

incredible learning. Even though there is so much information it provided a starting point to research more. Even stimulated me to enrol in arts at university and take indigenous studies courses as part of a minor. thank you for that

This course was absolutely incredible! Incredibly humbling, thought provoking and eye-opening. I immersed myself in it everyday; I couldn't get enough information. Well thought out; easy to follow. I would highly recommend this course.

studies and ceremonies. After taking this course I have a greater understanding and appreciation for the diversity of Indigenous peoples across Canada and the hardship faced past, present, and future due to the impacts of colonization.

Excellent course! This was so well designed and written. I am so glad I was lucky enough to hear about this. I only wish I would have grown up learning the truth, but also the beauty and intelligence of traditional Indigenous cultures.

Thank you for an informative,, reality-based course that all Canadians should enroll in. Shocking is how settlers treated the Indigenous Peoples, the original inhabitants of Canada. This should be mandatory training for our politicians!

really great course! The time estimates were way off for my experience And i found that reading the course notes first was a better way to establish learning then watch the video to consolidate understanding. Overall a fantastic course

I started his course after the horrific discovery frofrom from after the horrific discovery at residential schools in Canada. This course helped me understand the unique perspective of indigenous peoples and their importance to Canada.
