Excellent course content presented in a very user friendly way. All aspects of this course were very good. I learned a lot and was inspired to read more and learn more. I was aware of many of the issues presented, but the course materials added depth and the sensitivity of the Indigenous experience.

This course was a fantastic compliment to other courses and workshops I have taken to enhance my knowledge of Indigenous people and learn how to become a better ally. The instructors were fantastic, the format was well designed and the follow-ups with Dan Levy always interesting. Well done U of A!

Thank you for sharing your time, knowledge and expertise with us throughout this course, to everyone involved. It has been thought provoking, valuable and truly fascinating. As an immigrant to Canada, I feel that this course should be recommended to every person that lives here, short or long term.

What a wonderfully created course. I found this so fascinating and loved learning through all the material provided. The videos were clear, concise and informative. The extra reading, artwork and input from additional experiences added to the learning experience. Would highly recommend this course!

A truly illuminating course, giving an introductory view of First Nations in a variety of aspects. Every Canadian needs to learn and understand the place of First Nations on this land we call home. Professor Bear and the instructors are terrific! I'm thrilled that this is my first MOOC certificate!

An extremely important piece of information for anyone who calls Canada home. I feel that the content, although devastating and at times hard to believe due to the severe and destructive nature of colonization, is enriching and empowering. This course should be mandatory learning for all Canadians.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course and felt the information provided was clear and thought provoking. It gave great insight into the true history of Canada. It challenges the student to look at the world, government and institutions with a new perspective. I believe everyone should take this course.

This was wonderful.

It is what I should have been taught and learned in Social Studies, but was sadly missing from the curriculum in the nineties when I attended high school. Thank you for this thought provoking and fascinating foray in to Canada's true history. I appreciated the learning so much.

"Indigenous Canada" is an excellent and informative course. While Canada has far to go and much still to learn, this course provides a step toward better understanding of our true history, broadening community, and education for any who are ready to learn. Thank you so much for this opportunity.

This course really helps to tie in a lot of the gaps that you didn't even realize existed in the History of Canada. This needs to be mandatory for all Canadian Students moving forward. It was interesting, easy to follow and highly visual. One of the best University level courses that I have taken!

Very informative and in many ways surprising. As a Canadian that has gone through the school system, I am surprised how little, nothing really, I learned about Canadian Indigenous history. It's a course I highly recommend to anyone who wants to gain a more complete picture of our county's history.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course- esp. the stories shared by the individuals themselves

I very much enjoyed the ease of learning by the manner in which the lessons were delivered

I especially loved the art as well

I loved the music and would love to learn more about the language in the drumming songs

Great course, very informative. Quizzes sometimes had questions that were worded confusingly and was tough to know if the wording was a mistake or intended to be a trick question. As well the estimated times for the readings felt on the short side, but I am also a slow reader so maybe its just me.

An incredible course! Already, I have noticed that when I now hear about news in Indigenous spaces, I can better understand the context around events and movements. Thank you so much for all the hard work, heart and soul poured into this. I have been recommending this course to everyone I know.

I found that the course really opened my eyes to the unconscious bias that we have towards indigenous people. I will be furthering my knowledge on the subject due to this course. I recommend that every Canadian take this course if they want to have an opinion on Indigenous affairs in this country.

This course was a real "eye-opener." My husband is Metis and i wanted to learn this course material to feel more part of his heritage. Many topics I knew something of, such as Bill 31, residential schools and the Treaties and am so happy to have had a more in-depth study of these and other topics.

This is a wonderful course. It is beginner enough, for someone like me who doesn't have good knowledge or background in Canadian History. But, it also gives enough information and insight to begin to understand some of the challenges but also the beauty and wonder of Indigenous People in Canada.

It's quite remarkable that this immense history could be told in 12 weeks, but this course has done a remarkable job at it. The entire course gives you a good look at very significant topics to Indigenous Canadian history and piques your interest to pursue specific topics after the course is done.

I thought it was engaging, enlightening and full of positive takeaways that are applicable in a multitude of ways. Learning more about Indigenous matters through their voice and eyes and teachings was very important and insightful. I think this course is essential and am so happy that I took it!

This is an amazing course. It has sparked so many thoughts, new interests and challenges to my existing knowledge. As a settler descendant I started this course as my may to begin a personal reconciliation with First Nations and understand what was never taught to me. It was the best first step!

This course was very informative and thorough. I had taken classes in University from the Faculty of Native Studies and it was great to learn more. The modules were thought provoking and insightful. I am glad I took this course as an educator on Treaty 6 Territory. Thank you to everyone involved.

In depth general yet well-informed, documented, and presented materials, and mandatory knowledge on Indigenous Canada. Thank you for speaking slowly! And brava to Leah Dorion for her painted stories! This was a wonderful course, Dr. Tracy Bear, Dr. Paul Gareau, and every invited presenter guests!

I found this course easy to follow and very well presented by a variety of extremely interesting teachers. The material is informative as well as enlightening and I have been recommending it to students and friends. I think all highschool and university students should be encouraged to take it!

A wonderfully curated course. There are so many complex subjects that should be discussed in a course like this. The designers and teachers of this course created an easy to follow course that take learners on an educational journey. Thank you and thank you for making this accessible to so many.

As an educator and a citizen that was still in elementary school when the last Residential school closed down, this course had many eye opening moments for me. Thank you for making this available, and for furthering and strengthening my education, so I can pass on your knowledge to my students.
