What and excellent course, well prepared online learning experience.

This course not only provided a foundation of knowledge, it aslo answered many of my own questions and misconceptions. I highly recommend this course and remain thankful for all those who contributed to its creation.

I found this course deeply moving and informational. While I had learned a modicum of the history of First Nations People while in grade school in the US, the depth of the materials and the representative art pieces were a revelation. Thank you for creating a truly beautiful course.

Such a humbling experience for me to learn so much more about Indigenous people and to gain a better and more realistic understanding of Canada's history. This is just a first step for me in educating myself and it has provided me with an excellent foundation to continue my learning.

I spent 8 years in the Arctic working with Dene, G'wichin, Inuit James Bay Cree and Inuvaluit employees. I sincerely wished I had the opportunity to take this course earlier. I can honestly say I have received an education !

BTW, how do I get my shareable certificate that I paid for ?

I am changed. I am more motivated and better able to hear the voices of the Indigenous community around me and stand with them in solidarity toward justice, equity, and restoration.

Thank you!

I will continue to reflect on and review the course notes and lessons for a long time to come.

Profoundly educational, this wonderful Indigenous perspective should be foundational to all Canadians learning, should we wish to honour the sovereign status of the first peoples of Canada, our stewards and champions of land, history and collective perspectives that nourish our souls.

Thank you so much! For me, it was very interesting to learn about the history, culture, art, believes, and concerns of the Indigenous peoples. Very knowledgeable and impressive. It will help me to design my Employee and Leadership Development Learning courses.

This was a great course! I am from Colombia South America and had no problem catching up with Canadian history. The interactive artistic pieces helped alot with retaining and associating the knowledge that was developed throughout the specific topics. This was great, I am so thankful.

Its crazy to think how quickly the 12 weeks go by. I have to say that the course material is very much so eye opening and I have learned so much during these weeks. The teachings and knowledge from the U of A faculty were wonderful and I would 100% suggest anyone to take this course.

I cannot emphasize how transformative this course has been! Now, when I listen to the radio, or read APTN news, I understand, and support, the Indigenous call for reconcilliation, change and healing. This course should be taken by every person who lives in this place we call Canada.

Indigenous Canada is a humbling and insightful resource supporting the plight and resilience of Indigenous people across Canada. This course is a superb reminder of interconnectedness and a call to action to perpetually earn each other's respect. O Canada, our home and Native land.

What an excellent course! Informative and thought-provoking week after week. Would highly recommend this course for anyone interested in getting to know Canada from a non-European perspective, and wanting to develop a more inclusive, rounded perspective on the country and its people.

This course should be mandatory for every person who intends to imigrate to Canada. I changed me in a deep way to see and understand how I can be an ally and support indigenous people while living in the country. You guys did an AMAZING job. I loved it!! Congratulations from Brazil.

I found this course so informative and interesting! While I realize that one overview course can never completely touch on all the issues, I found that the basic knowledge outlined here will help me as I interact as a fellow Canadian with my Indigenous neighbors. Thank you so much!

I was very happy with this course and he amount of information given. They started with the basics, but there was alot of information that was good as a review or new to me. I also appreciate that it isnt a bunch of white people teaching about a culture they dont know anthing about.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! This was my introduction to Indigenous studies and you didn't disappoint. Offering each theme in small chunks of time made it easier to commit to and complete the course. I loved the presentations, the interviews, the art...everything. Well done.

This course was an informative gateway into the Indigenous history of Canada as told in an authentic and respectful manner. When I finished the course, I genuinely felt sad; as if I were leaving some friends. Thank you so much for the opportunity to learn about such rich cultures.

Amazing course, there is so much I did not know about Indigenous and Canadian history. This course should be followed by all canadians to help inform, reconcile, and mostly find equity and balance between the settler's descendents and first nations while we build our common country.

This program was so well done and informative and emotionally impactful. It is a great foundation for my ongoing journey of cultural humility ,truth and reconciliation. Thanks to the faculty, artists and all who shared their stories and truths and struggles.

This course really opened my eyes! We do not learn the true history of colonialism in school, it is shocking how different the language used in this course is compared with the language in children's studies on indigenous people....for example settlers vs colonists. Very interesting

Thank you all for this very well laid out, honest information. It has helped me to understand some of the "mysteries" that were not taught to me as a child years ago. It has opened my eyes to the deeper meaning of the indigenous people of canada and piqued my curiosity to know more.

A great way to learn more about Indigenous Culture - just a peek into a world I was not taught about or knew much about. Will certainly be looking for more ways to learn more and be a supporter of indigenous culture rather than the continuation of oppression and colonial mentality.

Very informative, and offers a perspective that was not given in my history classes in public school. This, in turn, gives a context to current news stories that I never had before. It is presented in an inviting way, and I thank you for creating this course and making it available.

This was a wonderful introductory course to Indigenous people, culture and history in Canada. It's definitely prompted me to learn more and specifically to learn about the indigenous history where I live which is Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People.
