    I am impressed with the way this course was delivered in multiple ways. It took a while for me to get used to listening to stories but I am a better learner now. Every Canadian needs this teaching.

    I found this course to be very informative. Thank you for the opportunity to see our shared history from another perspective. I hope this is as groundbreaking for my fellow Canadians as it was for me.

    The course is very helpful in understanding the dynamics of the first nations of Canada, their place in contemporary society and their struggles. Lessons learnt from here can be applied to other indigenous people across the globe.

    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 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.

    Excellent, well presented beginner course on indigenous studies. I highly recommend it.

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

    Thank you.
