This was a really great course-I learned so much. I thought the course was very well organized and each module brought many perspectives that I hadn't really been exposed to throughout my education.

This is a great survey course about Indigenous Canada. As a participant, I have learned and unlearned so much about Indigenous Canadians, and more important, this course has inspired me to learn more.
