This was one of the best online courses I have taken. It was well written, great material related to my own personal development and gave me a better understanding of the Indigenous Peoples in Canada.

I majored in Native Studies during my BA 20 years ago, but I still learned a lot from this course. The units on art, gender roles, and Indigenous people in urban centers were especially interesting.

A great history lesson! The information was very comprehensive and covered different aspects of Indigenous life in Canada. As a non Indigenous person, It was an honour to be educated on the history of the owners of the land. Thank you

This was a very informative course and provided important knowledge of Indigenous peoples' perspective of Canadian & British colonial history that is sadly missing both in Canadian & British perspective of the history of this country.

I am a non-indigenous Canadian. I took this course to gain further understanding about issues related to colonialism in Canada. I learned a lot. I think the course was very well done and the topic areas were comprehensive.
Thank you

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. As a white male living in Canada I believe that this course should be taken by all Canadians to help broaden perspectives and include the voices of those who are marginalized in the dominant culture.

A very thorough course. I studied indigenous history, taught it at the secondary school level and did work with several First Nations in my role at a school board. I wish I had taken this course before I did any of that!
Thank you.

"Moving and thought-provoking" is right! The course was very informative, interesting.....and should be required learning for all Canadians. I'm very happy to have found this course. (It was through a shared Facebook post and link.)

Extremely educational and broad. The questions in the quiz sections were sometimes confusing and made me doubt about how much I had really learned.
I would definitely recommend this course as an introduction to Indigenous Awareness.

Well narrated course, which covered an amazing breadth of information. It provided me with a deeper (albeit still novice - there is so much to unlearn and learn!) appreciation for Indigenous history, experience, and current reality.

I enjoyed learning about Canada's Indigenous people. As a senior I also learned to navigate a computer course. Many thanks for the insight offered into an important look at Canadian history as it relates to her land and her people.
