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.

Thank you for this. Beautifully presented, well rounded, I am embarrassed to think of how little I knew before, but I'm glad I do know. This course is an inspiration to dig deeper into many topics.

Thank you for putting this course together. It helped me begin to better understand Indigenous cultures and struggles, as well as helping me understand the great need for a path towards a better Canada for Indigenous and non-Indigenous alike.

This course was enlightening and while it's packed with information, it has also made me aware that there is so much more I need to learn about indigenous people in Canada. It will impact how I approach my
relationships with Indigenous people.

This was an excellent way to learn what I should have learned in school about Indigenous people and culture in Canada. It has changed the way I view current issues and has taught me how to recognize the wisdom and beauty of Indigenous culture.

I've learned so much but I know there's so much more about Indigenous Canada to be educated about. I wish every High School in Canada would teach this course, so there wouldn't be so much ignorance and racism concerning Canada's First Peoples.

I'm 77 years old, a retired teacher with a Master Degree in sociology and history. I learned so much from this course and only wish I could have taken it 50 years ago! How my perspectives now would have changed some of my life decision then!

This course was amazing and truly well organized. I feel like I walked away with a much better understanding of some of the difficulties surrounding Indigenous Peoples today and in the past. I think this is a fantastic course for all Canadians

Great course! but Coursera deleted progress at module 7 and I had to start over! Also I paid for a certificate and that ( payment )disappeared as well on the same day. I sent them a screenshot of my payment but not sure if they'll honour it

Thank you. It was an eye opening, very good general introduction to Indigenous history in Canada, and has spurred me to continue learning about the people who made this area their home for the thousands of years prior to our family's arrival.

Vital information for all Canadians. There are some small glitches in the course (confusing/poor grammar at times, and some missing links), but overall, this is well put together and a great introduction for future learning and conversations.

This has been an honour to participate in. I have learned an incredible amount of previously unlearned/unknown information. I understand so much more than I did before. My plan is to continue to learn more about Indigenous Peoples in Canada.

A fantastic introduction to Indigenous history and culture in Canada - but which is also beneficial for learners with some knowledge of the topics covered. I wish it were mandatory for all people working in government and public institutions.

This course was amazing. As a Canadian, I can't stress enough how important this information is. My unconscious bias and racism was highlighted several times and I'm humbled to have been given the space to learn and grow from this. Thank you!

Really happy to have taken this course. I wished I had paid more attention in middle school/high school and saw this course pop up. Definitely a good course to go over if you're interested in advancing your knowledge about Indigenous Peoples.

Excellent! I really appreciated this opportunity to decolonize the Canadian history I was taught and I look forward to using what I have learned to ensure my children will have a decolonized perspective on Canadian history as well. Thank you!

Thank you so much for all that you have shared. I appreciate learning more about the Indigenous peoples of Canada, and hearing another version of Canada's history. The artwork and explanations was a really nice touch. Very well done to all.

I really enjoyed this course, particularly as a settler in Canada, as it informed me in a non-adversarial way. My only wish is that more of the Indigenous art that was discussed in the final module was shown, rather than just spoken about.

Amazing course! As a social work academic, this course was much needed to deepen my understanding on Indigenous history, contemporary realities and art! Highly recommend it to all settler Canadians, it's a must in the reconciliation process.
