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.

Very educational. The course material was informative and inspired me to learn more. I often found myself stopping a lesson to learn about different parts of Canadian/Aboriginal history that I was not taught in school. Thank you!

Very informative and thoughtful course. A good place to start when trying to get a different perspective on Canadian history and better understanding some of the brutal and discriminatory treatment of indigenous people in Canada.

Excellent content! Painfully accurate, description of genocide in Canada, and the foundations of continued colonialism in this country. Supports the goals of the Truth & Reconciliation Commission. Thank you so much for sharing.

I found this to be a very useful and informative course. Our schools do not cover Canadian history and the role of Indigenous peoples so this course provides an excellent overview of that history. I highly recommend this course.

Excellent course! So enjoyed it as hard as it was to learn what the Indigenous have gone through. This course has made me come to appreciate the Indigenous culture, history and struggles. Does not make me proud to be a Canadian.

The course was an excellent introduction to aboriginal history in Canada. Certainly opened my eyes to a different perspective on Canadian history. I would certainly consider a more in-depth course on various topics covered here.

This course offered more than what I was prepared for, and I absolutely cannot praise it enough. It offered so much information on our heartbreaking history and is a wonderful reminder of a past that we cannot afford to repeat.

this course was incredibly informative. I felt like i was learning an accurate history of Indegenous Canada and not the white-washed history I has previously been taught. Being able to go at my own pace was a huge plus aswell.

As a descendant of settlers, I really appreciated learning from the indigenous perspective that we were not taught in school.
Thank you.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. I had not learned much about the indigenous peoples of Canada growing up in Toronto. However I have read much over the years. This was a great way to pull it all together for me. Thank you!
