Thank you for this course. It filled in many, many pieces of information about aboriginal people in Canada that was missing in my formal, European-based education. Now I have a fuller insight and knowledge about Canada because without the aboriginal piece, it was incomplete.

I found this course extremely helpful in understanding the history of injustices towards the indigenous people, something my generation did not learn in school. It was touching and well presented and providing much time for discussion and sharing the knowledge with my family.

I enjoyed the course, but it made me realize its a long time since I was in Uni!!!

Sorry, can't help it - that ***!# spell checker has been at it again!!!

Looking forward to more of the same, and I plan to check out these artists - I'm from BC so Bill Reid is the hero!!!

This course is one of the best courses I have ever taken on or off line. congratulations to the University of Alberta and to Tracey bear et al. Thank you so much for this outstanding course. And thank you for including Metis. It is hard sometimes to find ourselves. Thank you.

Being Indigenous and taking the time to continue to educate myself on our past and present was a huge eye opener. My opinion , everyone in our country should take this course to better understand our country and to learn what our indigenous ancestors experienced. Miigwetch

I thought that this course was extremely interesting and sobering to learn more about what settlement, colonization and the dehumanization of the Indigenous people looked like. To strip an entire population of their land, language and way of life was savage, not the people.

The course is an excellent overview of the diversity of indigenous cultures, history, art, resistence and resilience in the face of colonialism (past and current). Perhaps, in the future, it could include the 60 's scoop and more on indigenous literature, poetry, and films.

Fabulous course. Comprehensive and well developed curriculum. Presented complex issues and detailed information in an interesting way. Have recommended course to many. Thanks for this important content. A good foundation to delve more deeply into Canadian indigenous peoples.

What a Great course!! I encourage everyone to take this course. I also think this course should be put into the high school curriculum. Understanding the Indigenous people of Canada is so important. They are the eyes, ears and knowledgeable protectors of our great country!!!

The best course I've ever taken in a MOOC format. It open my eyes to think differently and dig deeper. It even inspired me to write about it back home, because the biggest shock for me, as a new immigrant was.... How do we not hear about any of this in the rest of the world?

The course was really the perfect balance of introductory material and more in-depth examples. I really appreciated the Indigenous-led content, the respect for context, and the different formats for learning. I will definitely be keeping the course notes to look back over!

This introductory course has left me with an expanded understanding of the many issues facing Indigenous Canadians past and present. It has also left me wanting to learn more. Thank you very much to all those involved, for your time and generosity in providing this program.

My heart and mind are full with a new appreciation of the people who called Turtle Island home for 40,000 years before coloniztion called this part of that land, Canada. The course and instructors were insightful, and have helped me along my journey of allyship. Thank you!

I love, love this course. This really gave me insight into the lovely Country of which I'm living in and the kindhearted Aboriginal people I come in contact with everyday.

I want to use this oppootunity to thank all the Professors , Reseraches who made this a huge success.

This was an excellent course to introduce the history and culture of Indigenous peoples of Canada. I took this course to better understand the history as it is now understood and to help unlearn materials that I learned in school as a child in Ontario in the 70's and 80's.

Great course. The speakers seemed to be speaking a slow pace. Watching at 1.25 and 1.5 speeds helped. Some questions given in the quizzes were challenging and not as clear as they could have been and even after reviewing notes, they were still difficult to answer correctly.

I am an adopted Metis Woman reclaiming my heritage. I used to find applying for my Metis Status overwhelming. Now I know it was because I didn't understand my culture. Thank you for starting to fill in the gaps between my colonialized upbringing & the discovery of who I AM!

This was a great course to capsule history of the Indigenous culture. I'm more aware of how things transpired from first contact. It's so unfortunate how the Indigenous peoples were treated and I'm very applauded with our governments who look beyond our Indigenous peoples.

I found this course to be both interesting and informative. I work with an indigenous population and this course has helped to broaden my understanding of this population’s history, thereby assisting me in my practice, especially my advocacy role. Thank you for offering it.

I think everyone in Canada should be required to take this course. I have learnt so much, and am so blessed to have had this opportunity. This course has really opened my eyes, and this content should be seen as mandatory in all school curriculums. Thank you so much truly !

Took this training along with several of my colleagues at the Justice Institute of BC. The material is presented in a very neutral way and invites the learner to draw their own conclusions about the information. Overall, this was a tremendous learning experience. Thank you!

I found the course very informative with a broad range of issues. The topics were covered in an in-depth manner. Perhaps a new modules could be added to cover developments that have taken place in Canada over the past six years in support of Indigenous community concerns.

So rich and informative. I have passed along information about this fantastic course on social media and my independent radio show... I hope folks take advantage of this deep dive into the culture, wisdom and history of our fascinating First Nations brothers and sisters...

12 weeks of a greater understanding and learning experience! A Thank you goes out to everyone that made this possible .The presentation and multiple formats of info was so well done . I want to pass it along as much as possible . The more we learn the more we understand .

This was an incredibly thoughtfully developed course, and I learned so much about indigenous history that should have been mandatory curriculum in elementary and secondary Canadian education. Thank you Dr. Tracy Bear, University of Alberta, et al for your wonderful course!
