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.

Fantastic course! I really appreciated the accessibility of the course to Canadians and the opportunity to learn and ponder the material presented. The course is a good starting point to delve more deeply into the specific topics. Thank you!

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.

This class changed my life. The professors are wonderful. The content addresses a lot of painful topics, with truth and honesty, with the intent of saying things like they are, without sugarcoating it. Thank you from the bottom for my heart.

Was well put together and so insightful and helpful in understanding the history of my country and it's people. It honestly should be required learning for all Canadians. Thank you so much for offering this important learning for free!!!!

Sometimes it was very humbling and painful. I learned a lot about my own History because I was raised with lots of secrets. So it opened a lot of doors to finally explore my heritage especially my Spirituality and understand it more clearly.

This course is beautiful, insightful, well-organized, and deeply moving. Thank you to Dr. Bear and the rest of the team at the University of Alberta for their generosity of spirit in sharing their knowledge and scholarship through this MOOC.

Wow, an incredible amount of information about the subject. I gave five stars but perhaps will add that some of the verbal presentations got tedious. But as a former teacher I realize how difficult that is speaking to a camera. Thank you.

I have completed this course with a much greater understanding of our Indigenous culture in Canada.

The course was very well presented and gave me a better understanding of the various Treaties and Acts under which our Indigenous people live.

This is an absolutely outstanding course. I have learned so much, and my thoughts and perspectives on colonization have evolved. I am so grateful that this course was created, and will strive to learn more about indigenous peoples of Canada.

Loved this coarse! Very well organized, great content, wonderful learning platform,. Complex topics presented in a way that made it easy to transfer knowledge. Has inspired me to dig deeper and look for progressive learning opportunities.

It was very good to learn about the history of the first peoples, the Indians in Canada. I'm grateful, I was fascinated with the indigenous culture. For me it was a big challenge, as I'm still learning English, but I managed to learn a lot.

This course was so interesting I could not stop each week. Like a great book you didn't want to put down. Well done by each presenter. Highly recommend taking and would take over again. Thank you to everyone who put this course together

I have learnt about the background and contemporary issues for Indigenous Canadians . This has enhanced my understanding and appreciation. The course is interesting and beautifully presented. i would encourage everyone to take it. Thank you

Absolutely amazing and eye opening. The Sunday chats with University Professors and guests and Dan Levy added even more to an already very special course. Thank you for the opportunity to learn what was never taught when I went to school.

Amazing course! Thank you for making available years of indigenous culture history to a new generation of newcomers and young students. Hopefully, a better-educated generation will contribute to a brighter future for indigenous communities.

Such a great, involving, interesting course. I loved the personal stories, community involvement aspect and how the course intertwined well with current issues. The artistic aspect was an excellent summative piece at the end of each module.

This was an excellent course. It took way more focus and attention than previous courses on Indigenous history . I have recommended it to many non-indigenous people to help them on their learning journey. Thank you for this opportunity.

This course is amazing. The modules are designed to provide fundamental knowledge in relation to an integral part of Canada. I really enjoyed the videos and materials and I will go through all again even though I have completed the course.

Excellent course! Very detailed and clearly delivered by the course instructors. Thank you for helping me gain a better understanding and knowledge of Indigenous people, history, culture, art and much more. I highly recommend this course.

Essential learning for all settler Canadians! I am eternally grateful for the opportunitiy to have absorbed and processed so much knowledge of historical and contemporary Indigeneneity and Indigenous issues.

Many many thanks,

Iain McBride

I loved this course. I have been enlightened in so many ways. I give many credits to the presenters who did an amazing job through out the entire course. I could see the passion they exerted as they spoke in each lesson. Great work by all.

I'm extremely grateful that ths course exists. After such a positive learning expereince that has transcended into a profound personal journey, I pledge that this will only be the beginning of my personal education about Indigenous Canada.

Amazing course. This is what we should be teaching our children in school. Instructors were captivating, content was engaging and lots of learning to share with your friends and family. I am looking forward to learning more on my own time.

Although I had some familiarity of UNDRIP and the Truth and Reconciliation work, the overview of First Nations history and cultural identity development was very necessary to fill in gaps in my understanding of the country I was raised in.
