I am impressed with the way this course was delivered in multiple ways. It took a while for me to get used to listening to stories but I am a better learner now. Every Canadian needs this teaching.

This was an amazing course. it opened my eyes to so many things and has giving me a much better understanding and respect for the Indigenous communities that were the true founders of this country. This should have been my history classes growing up! Thank you!

Every person living in the Western hemisphere should take some kind of course on Indigenous culture and history, paricularly of the first inhabitants from the region where they live. All non-indigenous inhabitants in the Western hemisphere live on stolen land!

Thank you for providing this educational experience. I learned a whole bunch of things I wasnt aware of before and expanded knowledge I did already have. I believe this course is important for all Canadians to take as we work towards Truth and Reconciliation!

Thank you all for your hard work and your introduction to so many new perspectives to look into and to learn from. Peoples and places, times gone and times to come, with a good bit of luck and action, hopefully yours is an influence that will help many to grow.

This course was life changing! It was incredibly moving and informative and I didn't want it to end and that as sparked something in me to keep learning and doing more for the indigenous people of Canada. Thank you for giving me and the people this opportunity!

I believe that the school system should embrace these studies at the very early stage of all children starting school and it should also be included in the current immigration testing system for any new looking to migrate to Canada to make Canada as their home.

As a UK citizen, I knew very little about the Indigenous people of Canada. I'm really pleased that I took this course - it was well put together, extremely interesting and I have a much better understanding of the Indigenous tribes of Canada, and their history.

Excellent, well written and spoken course. The art is a beautiful addition, and this is a fabulous tool to learn more about Indigenous culture in our country. I particularly enjoyed the views on Western/Indigenous law; there is a lot to learn from that lesson.

I am from Spain, so besides the residential schools' issue, I was completely unaware of most of the information that was provided and I would recommend anyone who is trying to be a better ally to enroll, participate and know more about the people you support.

This was an excellent starting point. I appreciate the added resources to further explore. I enjoyed the variety of presenters each week, and the art work, visuals and music. I recommend this course to anyone interested in learning about Indigenous Canada

I learned so much from this course, and in the wake of the discovery of residential school grave sites it was more relevant than ever to take it. I'm going to continue to learn about the Indigenous peoples of Canada and what I can do to facilitate reparations.

Extremely important course now more than ever as we head into a new period of developing relations between Euro-Canadians and the first peoples of the land. Ignorance of Indigenous issues renders colossal disservices to both Indigenous and settler populations.

Great learning at a really good pace. It was interesting and easy to follow, even if the topics themselves were sometimes difficult. I would recommend this course to others as an initial step in understanding Indigeous peoples and their experience in Canada.

This course was a great jumping off point to help me explore how to decolonize education. I liked the detail that the presenters went into (just the right amount, and leaving deeper digging for individuals). Thanks so much for this rich learning opportunity.

Before this course, I thought I had an idea of Indigenous history and current challenges, but I really didn’t know a thing. My eyes have been opened! Thank you so much to the people who put this enlightening course together. Their efforts are much appreciated.

A very generous offering. The minimum background knowledge for anyone settled & settling in "Canada". Greatly appreciated the accessibility and quality of this course, which engages the most pertinent and pressing issues of our past, present, and future times.

I really enjoyed taking this course and highly recommend it.
It is shameful how little I knew about the Indigenous People of Canada, and this course was only the start of my learning journey and how I can be a better ally to Indigenous and marginalised people.

This course is an introduction to learning more and being open to hear and relish the history of indigenous members of Canada. I appreciated the content as being very diverse, descriptive, interactive in holding my attention and sharing such important truths.

I wasn't very aware of what the settlers have done to the Indigenous People and this course was a great introduction to the horror of how they were treated. Every Canadian should take this course and learn how badly they have been and continue to be treated.
