Absolutely superb course. I have learned so much and the course exceeded my expectations. I am now embarking on a journey to education myself and those around me about the history of our country and the First Nations peoples.

Informative, educational and truly eye-opening. East to West, Canada’s colonial history is being played on a loud speaker after being silenced for so long. Being ignorant is no longer an excuse in this day and age. Thank you!

I enjoyed the course. Being of English descent it was uncomfortable at times to hear the history. Very important for everyone to learn the history and understand the impacts of residential schools and racism and colonialism

A very well put together and streamlined look at the covered up side of Canadas relationship to it's indigenous people. Walks the fine line between vague and overly dense, keeping it engaging and a good source of information.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. I have always had a fascination with the Indigenous culture. This course taught me so much more. I am positive the knowledge I gained will help me in my career as an Early Childhood Educator.

Great course! Very in-depth and thorough. I have learned more about the Indigenous culture in this course than I did during my years in high school and at the post-secondary level. I highly recommend this course to everyone!

I care about indigenous people all over the world. Enviroment issues are also alerting! I see openess in this course somehow, which I didn't even expect. And I would like to thank coursera for getting me in touch to Alberta.

Great course and encourage everyone to take this! It's sure not what we were taught in Grade 5 History class. I will now find more ways to further my education and knowledge in Indigenous Studies esp Art.

Thank you so much!

Tellement bien organisé ! Facile a suivre et comprendre et le message, les histoires et les effets de la colonisation sur les traditions et les gens de ses communautés. Nous devons tous connaitre ceci pour mieux s'entraider.

I enjoyed taking this course and hope more people will take it to help better educate themselves regarding indigenous history, governance, life, residential schools, art and many more topics. Thanks for offering this course,

I would recommend everyone to take this course because of the professionalism displayed by the professor as well as the knowledge that is offered on a topic that is extremely sensitive and important to our Canadian heritage.

An absolute honor to be able to reflect of the Indigenous perspective. Everything from art, social justice, to historical context. I hope to continue my jouney of learning and ongoing respect of these incredible communities.

Very educational in learning Canada’s history. The truth in all manners good and bad and how Aboriginal culture can teach us better ways of living, to be accountable for how we treat one another and the environment we share.

Very well organized and easy to follow along. I loved the presenters and all the contributors to the course. I would highly recommend this course for all Canadians as well as those wishing to learn about Indigenous Canada.

I absolutely loved this course. I learned so much. It was so well presented, loads of information and easy to follow. All Canadians should know this history. I plan on continuing to learn about Indigenous history. Thank you!

Really enjoyed how these topics were put together. It was a great overview that did a nice job talking about different First Nations and how they are connected, but also makes sure to note that Indigenous groups are diverse.

Thank you for making this course available and putting so much effort into it! It's a wonderful resource for knowledge and insights past and present. Every Canadian and person residing in Canada should know this information.

The material was well presented, divided into to short sections which allowed for natural breaks from studying. Although I like to take my own notes, the notes at the end were a good summary of the material and very useful.

Fantastic work to the entire team. I feel I have learned vast amounts regaurding the struggles and the perseverance of the Indigenous peoples of Canada.

Thank you for the chance to learn this for free, it is much appreciated.

I really enjoyed this course and the many options for taking in the learnings; whether you listen to the videos, read the transcripts, or focus on the course readings, I learned so much! Thank you for putting this together.

I very much enjoyed the 12 lessons contained in the course. This primer was very moving, and very thought provoking and I would recommend this to anyone wishing to gain a deeper understanding of Canada's Indigenous peoples.

really interesting course as it really makes the learner dig deep into the the different groups of people, their culture, history, difficulties they face, the different europeans who inhabited their land for ther own means.

J'ai trouvé le cours très instructif. Il devrait être intégré dans le programme d'éducation pour devenir enseignant. Je trouve dommage par contre que les examens soit en anglais. J'aurais eu moins de difficultés à réussir !

As a person of European settler background, this was a fantastic and humbling course to take, and has given me a new perspective on this history, culture, and challenges faced by the Indigenous people in Canada. Thank you.

I grew up in Canada from Scottish immigrants. With the ongoing focus of land rights, etc. I wanted to learn more about Canada's Indigenous history - or as I've heard put - "the stuff school didn't teach us." Eye-opening.
