I would recommend Indigenous Canada to anyone with an interest in acquiring knowledge about Aboriginal/non-Aboriginal relationships and how our collective history shapes our relationships today.

The course is a worthwhile investment of time for those who are interested in seeing matters from an indigenous perspective. It was certainly helpful for me and brought me to a new level of understanding of the complex history of indigenous people and the nation of Canada.

It was fantastic in every way. I highly recommend this course. The format and the quality of the videos and course notes were very high. The actual content was delivered in a concise but thoughtful way. I have taken previous courses on Indigenous history and learned more in this course then I have in all the others combined (including the history classes/courses from high school and university). This is really something every settler in Canada should have to take.

Saying this course was an 'eye-opener' would be an understatement. I found the material to be extremely informative, educational and thought provoking. There was information which I was not aware of. I did find some of the details hard to comprehend - why / how the government (then and now) took the approach to work against the Indigenous population and not with them. I am now more interested in continuing to learn about Canada's Indigenous People. Thank you

This course is excellent and should be adapted for all Canadian schools at all levels. I didn't learn any of this important information in school or university (and I have a degree in Canadian Studies from the University of Calgary). Understanding the culture, world view and histories of the Indigenous people of Turtle Island is a small step towards the yet unachieved reconciliation so important to the success of this nation, our environment and ALL its people.

I really enjoyed the opportunity to learn more about the history of Indigenous Canada through this course. Very engaging and well laid out, and I appreciated the ability to do it on my own time. I also want to thank you for being able to take this course and use the resources for free. I grew up in the United States, and I know that I have a great deal to learn, but for me, this was a really good overview of the things I need to look for as I continue. Thank you.

Helping my daughter with her Canadian History homework made me realize that I missed out on so much information (and was taught misinformation) when I was in school back in the 1980s and 1990s. This course helped fill in those information gaps and also wanted me to learn more. Thank you for putting this course together which I highly recommend especially those of us who are new immigrants or have gone through the Canadian education system more than a decade ago.

There is so much covered in this course. It is very thorough in a lot of different subjects affecting indigenous populations, from the past up through the present. There is a lot of content regarding the various treaties, laws, and interactions with the Canadian government, and they are particularly thorough with this material. If you are looking for a class that will give an broad introductory base in indigenous law, culture and thought, this course is for you.

Outstanding course! I had an opportunity to learn and digest at my own speed. I have been out of school for a very long time and found it a little unnerving at first, but soon became comfortable. My daughter (the Teacher) asked me to take the course and I am so glad that she did. It gave me a better perspective on who I am and how I fit into this complex Canada that we all share and hope to pass onto our children . I will continue to do my part

Thank you

I found that this was a really eye opening course, it allowed a deep understanding to the trauma, social probelms, and the history behind what FNMI people have experienced since colonization. I really enjoyed learning more about the experiences and history to better understand how to empathsize with individuals that represent the FNMI culture.

Thank you for all the hard work and dedication your team and members have put into making this a great learning tool.

Great course that covered many different topics regarding Indigenous people and their history. The course material was thorough, honest, and did not, in my opinion, come off as a bias lecture against colonialism, but simply a presentation of valuable experiences throughout history to the present, with an indigenous perspective. Very appreciative of this course and all it's components. Maybe a link to the silent film Modest Livelihood would be also good. Thanks

This course is absolutely phenomenal. I learned a great deal about a wide range of topics, such as the diversity of indigenous groups in Canada, the history of colonisation and its ongoing negative impacts on indigenous communities, and the struggles currently faced by indigenous communities and individuals.

I would recommend this course to anyone. I want to thank the course creators for sharing their knowledge and insight concerning these important topics.

The course was extremely helpful to understand a wide range of historical and contemporay issues. Oftentimes, the topics evoked the wish to go deeper, though not necessarily referring to selfstudy, rather to an opportunity for conversation and discussion, other than in written forums. I understand this is nearly impossible given the medium, though wanted you to know. Well done, and thank you very much for offering this as a free class, it's much appreciated!

Thank you for offering this great course. I enjoyed all the teachers. It was a very good course for a better understanding of the history, culture / community, values and compassion of the Indigenous people of Canada. It's given me an appreciation for our Indigenous people and I've gone on to read more books to further my understanding. I loved the artwork and learning of the creative endeavours that have been done to bring attention to different causes.

This course was so informative and well done. It saddens me that everything in this course—and much, much more—isn't a regular part of instruction in the school system. As an educator, it shows me just how much further we have to go in weaving all of this into our teaching. Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge and experience. This course, for me, represents a beginning of what I hope will be a lifetime of learning more about Indigenous peoples in Canada.

This is an excellent course, full of information that many Canadians have never been exposed to! This course should be included in the curriculum for all Canadian students to complete before high school gradualtion. It would be advantageous to begin presenting the information in this course in early elementary school years, and continuing through to final high school years, with elaboration and more in depth study as students progress through to graduation.

I love to study history. This is excellent knowledge; relevant for today and for moving forward. Much respect and appreciation for these lessons, the presenters, artists, and all who were involved. I was moved by the spirit of humility throughout. I am hopeful.

I have loved the weekly live stream with the faculty and Dan Levy. I feel like you are my family! Thank you to every guest. I am encouraged by the raw (salty) intelligence that needs to be heard.

Excellent course! I can not say enough good things about it. I especially appreciated going through history in chronological order from and Indigenous perspective. The lectures were extremely well done, the information was concise and easy to understand. I highly recommend this course for all Alberta teachers in preparation for the new Teacher Quality Standards. The information provided will give you a solid foundation to hang all future learnings from.

This course was well done. The readings were well written and easy to follow. The interviews done in the videos were great. And the weekly forums that were live streamed just brought so much more understanding and knowledge. Those discussions just put this course over the top! Thank you to everyone who set up and delivered the course and thank you to all who participated in the weekly discussion online. I would highly recommend this course to others.

The Quiz needs to be more generic. This course is primiraly taken by Non-Indigenous prople so asking very specific questions to more general public is not the right approach.

Non-Indigenous prople like me are very interested in learning about the Community but the Quiz questions would require you to be indepth informed about their background and this defeats the primary purpose to educate the Mass in general about this community.

Thank you for this extraordinary opportunity to learn so much more about the history of Canada. I sincereley hope this is adapted for schools across Canada. For mee the relationship between the Indigenous knowledge and the stewarshsip of the environment was critical learning. As a member of the LGBTQ community, I am incresibly grateful to learn about the Indigenous undeerstanding of two spirited peoples and the long standing acceptance of gender fluidity.

Outstanding. What an important learning journey. Everyone who resides in these settler lands in North America, particularly those who call themselves Canadians must take this course. Our history is Indigenous History and ignorance is no longer an option. It will shift you and your thinking and hopefully your practices of inclusion, misappropriation, bias, colonial privilege and restorative legal, social, cultural and economic public policy decision-making.

Amazing, I didn't want it to end!!! This course has not only brought into perspective the history and importance of the Indigenous Culture in Canada, but it has opened a desire to learn more, and take action. I believe this course should be taken by every Canadian citizen, the knowledge I've gained through the lesson plans, speakers, and artists is more than I could have imagined going into it. Thank you so much for sharing and teaching so many Canadian's.

learnt a lot , enjoyed the course. Thank you I will be forever be grateful to the generosity for the indigenous people for allowing me to live in your beautiful land Canada. I hear and feel your sufferings, you have been unjustly and cruelly treated, I cried for you. Please continue to be the real caretaker of the land, the air the rivers, the animals, the forest, the natural resources and all that is beautiful in This Canada.

God bless each one of you

Muy interesante.

Quizá en los vídeos me ha faltado un mayor número de imágenes significativas que acompañaran los discursos, especialmente en el último módulo, sobre las obras de arte mencionadas. Aunque supongo que se podrán ver en Internet.

Por lo demás, me ha permitido conocer a fondo aspectos de la colonización de la actual Canadá cuya injusticia ya conocía superficialmente. Ojalá todos los jóvenes canadienses tengan acceso a este conocimiento.

Gracias

Excellent and informative course. There is such a difference between this course and many of the other courses (and workshops) that I've taken on this subject and I can only attribute it to the active engagement and focus of the content creators / developers on prioritising the indigenous lens when it comes to approaching the subject matter.

It was incredibly impactful and educational and certainly left me with many new avenues of exploration to pursue.
