A sincere thank you for offering this free course on Indigenous Canada. I have gained knowledge & a framework for discussion & conversation with others about the history of Canada & it’s people.

Locally I have participated in conferences on Truth & Reconciliation & am encouraged to use my voice after taking this course.

This course is accessible and informative. I learned about the history, culture and politics of Canada in a way that was never presented to me in my public school and university studies. I recommend it for anyone who is keen to find out how much we do not know, and to begin the important re-learning of the story of Canada.

I gained a significant amount of knowledge and understanding of Indigenous Peoples both historic and contemporary. As someone who would fit into the mold of settler society, it provided much insight into the colonization of Indigenous Peoples and the ongoing impacts today. I highly recommend this course for all Canadians.

As a recent immigrant to Canada, I appreciate the opportunity to learn so much about the indigenous peoples who settled here. This course will provide you with an adequate grounding in the concepts of indigenous thought, culture, history, and problems. I appreciate the efforts of everyone involved in creating this course.

I learned so many amazing things in this course, some I was shocked at, others I wasn't. I was fascinated by the resiliance of the people to maintain their lives in the face of such oppression. And I've learned how to better not be a part of that oppression and instead be a better ally. Thank you so much for this course!

Although I did not know what to expect when I chose to take this course, working through the modules has resulted in a process of re-contextualizing and rebuilding my understanding of Aboriginal culture. I did not realize the truly colonial implications and misunderstandings of history that I had adopted without question.

5 stars for sure!!! I enjoyed the material in this course and I also liked the format. I liked that I could go as slow or fast as I wanted and I liked that I could watch the videos and the lines highlighted as it went along or I could read at my own speed. Great course, glad I had the opportunity to take it. Thank you.

Excellent Course. The speakers were very good and kept my interest. The course moved along at a good pace and was overflowing with knowledge. I did struggle with a few of the quizzes in that I answered correct but it was graded as incorrect - seems others had this issue as well. I really enjoyed all aspects of the course.

An excellent course which is informative, well delivered and very captivating. I feel that some of the multiple choices in the quizzes were ambiguous, while some others were a little too petty. There were occasional hiccups in the videos for delivery but the course notes made up for them. Really well delivered. Thank you.

This course was a great eye-opening experience. Well taught with engaging topics. It inspires you to learn more and critically think about the history you've learned, the present case of Indigenous life in modern times, and how the future can be shaped with respect. I would recommend this course to anyone, it was amazing.

Fantastic course - comprehensive view of the history, sociology and culture of Indigenous Canadians that highlights their resilience in the face of settler-colonialism, genocidal practices and disenfranchisement in the Canadian state. Thought provoking, covering a cross-section of topics and the videos were well produced.

Excellent!! Very informative, challenging and fun. Lots to learn about our history And how that history is still alive and well today. There are so many issues in regards to Indigenous Canada that have still not been resolved Shameful, really!! I enjoyed this course very much. Look forward to more on Indigenous Canada.

This is a course well-worth taking. I learned a lot about Indigenous history and contemporary issues. The course content was informative and the speakers throughout the course shared good information. Thank you for the opportunity to increase my learning and awareness about Indigenous/non-Indigenous relations in Canada.

I moved to Canada from the UK just over two years ago and I found myself knowing little of Canadian indigenous culture. This course has provided insight into indigenous cultures through history, politics, gender, religion and the arts. I would recommend every Canadian and non-Canadian to take this course, it is essential!

Thank you for making this course available to me. This course has greatly increased my understanding of Indigenous Canadian history. It has provided an important corrective to my prior views of indigenous peoples.

Thank you again for a fascinating and I trust a fair presentation of Indigenous history in Canada.

Really excellent course! I have told all my colleagues and friends they need to take this course. It should be mandatory for all non-Indigenous Canadians to learn about Indigenous peoples in Canada in this detail. My lifelong learning journey continues as I reflect in my role in reconciliation, and this is a great start.

I found that the course opened my eyes ad mind to many different aspects of indigenous experiences that were missed when I went to school. It fulfilled my expectations and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested (or who isn't) in learning more about the many indigenous experiences that are in Canada. Thank you!

Grateful for the opportunity to learn, unlearn, relearn and will continue to learn. The information and access to course materials is accessible, well-paced and wonderfully curated! Looking forward to applying my new learning as we curate lessons & learning experiences for our Grade 4/5/6 students in the new school year.

Thank you for putting together such a wonderful, considerate, thought out course exploring the relations between indigenous and non-indigenous people. As mentioned at the end, this only scratches the surface of many of these issues and topics as there is such a wide variety of cultures and experiences. Thank you so much!

I learned more in this course than I ever did about European colonization and Indigenous Peoples in my 15+ years of schooling. I'm thankful to have had the opportunity to learn more and I will be encouraging all my friends and family to take this course as well. Not only was it informative but also engaging and exciting.

I feel this course was exceptional at providing an alternate view of the Canada we live in and its history, As a Metis male I learned quite a lot about Canada's true history and more importantly the native history that was suppressed by the colonization process in Canada and continues to this day. Well done.

As Gov Gen Mary Simon says 'The time for "we didn't know" is over'. This course is an excellent starting point for those who want to understand more about Indigeneity, whether with the intention of being an ally, or just to better comprehend the social and legal challenges facing Indignous and non-indigenous Canadians

I have been stunned to learn about my unconscious biases and humbled to witness so many truths revealed. This course encourages us to move towards reconciliation by first revealing the truths. Indigenous Canada is an apt title for an exploration of indigenous sovereignty and the past and present impacts of colonization.

Due to personal circumstances, I took longer than the 12 weeks needed to complete the course, but each week of the course was incredibly engaging. I've learned that, even with my new knowledge, my knowledge barely scratches the surface of indigenous culture, and thus course has made me even more driven to find out more.

A course that every Canadian should take! Very well done. Only disappointment was that much of the art referenced in Week 12 wasn't shown in the lesson itself. That would have been beneficial. One glitch in Week 10... the popup question on female leadership appeared before the information was provided in the lesson.
