I really enjoyed this opportunity to learn about a history, culture, people and community that I have no real previous knowledge of. As an overseas resident/participant, this has been a great introduction to help me start my own learning journey. Thank you

This was a very informative and inclusive course. I look forward to taking more courses from U of A Faculty of Native Studies. I shared this course with many of my FN friends when I first enrolled and I will definitely continue to recommend it . Thank you.

I really appreciate the inclusion of aboriginal/indigenous art as a key part of understanding the history of indigenous people in Canada/Turtle Island. Artistic expression is so key to understanding a culture. Thank you. A wonderful and insightful course.

Truth and Reconciliation - the key to this is knowing the truth so that we can properly have reconciliation. This course educates us on Indigenous History so we can understand that the truth has been muddy and we must educate Canadians about OUR history.

I feel a better person and Canadian for taking this course. Learning about our country's shortcomings and violations towards indigenous people was horrifying but educational in me being able to learn these stories and become more honest in my journey

I am thankful for having the opportunity to see Canadian history from an Indigenous perspective, and feel I can be a better ally as a result. This course was well thought out, is easy to understand, and approaches topics in a knowledgeable way. Thank you!

While I have grown up in rural Canada and have many Indigenous family members there is so much here I did not know. I learned a great deal and it has given me much more to base my understandings on as it gave me perspective and information I did not have.

Every Canadian should take this course and classes based on it should be mandatory in every high school across the country. I'm hoping a second instalment will come where we can learn in more depth about the suffering of this country's Indigenous Peoples.

Thank you very much for offering this important, amazing, and necessary certificate. I learnt so much and feel like there is still so much to do and people need to educate themselves in order to live in a better community of human bebeingsgns. Thank you!

I found this course a fantastic resource. It is very complete, very easy to understand and a great starting point to learning about Indigenous Canada. The only feedback I have is that it would be gretaly beneficial to be able to ask questions. Thank you

So happy I completed this 12-week course. It was challenging at times but the information and lessons on the Indigenous populations is vital if you are a resident of this country. We owe it to ourselves to know our history and the Indigenous way of life.

Excellent course providing an important grounding in Indigenous history and historical and contemporary challenges facing Indigenous peoples in Canada, as well as celebrating their resilience, diversity, strength and knowledge. Thank you to all involved!

This course provided me with a better understanding of the struggles of indienous people and how colonization had a negative and long reaching impact for this group. I now have a better understanding of how the trauma is passed on to the next generations

Very well conducted course that has brought enlightenment and awareness to my understanding of the indigenous peoples of Canada. All Canadians should take this course to help dispel any myths, stereotypes and prejudices regarding our indigenous peoples.

This was a very interesting and informative course. It would be interesting to break down some of the topics into their own courses to allow a deeper exploration of certain topics. Thank you for this over view and sharing of history of Indigenous people.

I am an immigrant from Mexico, living in Canada for 34 years and the truth is that I have never had the opportunity to really know the rich culture of the first settlers of Canada.

My perception of these great nations has turned 360 degrees.

Thanks a lot.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. It was a lot of information however, the videos and readings were very easy to follow. It has given me a new perspective on Canadian history for sure! Thank you to University of Alberta and the Faculty of Native Studies.

Excellent matériel éducatif, instructif et offrant un large spectre de connaissance dans différents domaines permettant de comprendre le passé, le présent, et de préparer l'avenir pour celles et ceux qui souhaitent créer un univers respectueux de chacun.

A really well-done course and very eye-opening. It highlights the issues with today's educational system, as I believe every Canadian should learn more about our history, whether good or bad. I will also be pursuing more detail into many of these topics.

Amazing experience. Well-rounded course covering issues from the origins of Turtle Island up to today, from early partnerships to modern treaties, all while tackling head-on historical threats from residentials schools to today's systemic discrimination.

I believe that everyone should take this course. If for nothing more than to gain a greater understanding of our Indigenous Peoples. The course was very well presented. The only problem I found was that the readings were strictly a rehash of the lectures

I appreciated how the course gave a broad overview of the history of Indigenous People in Canada and worked it's way through more recent and present issues. I was pleased to see a whole week devoted to art and to end the course on this was wonderful.

I really enjoyed this course and I feel like I learned a lot about the Indigenous peoples of Canada. I really liked that although the course did focus on such issues as resedential schools and MMIWG, it also talked aboit Indigenous artists and culture.

This is a well put together, eye opening course that is absolutely necessary for those of us who call Canada home to learn the history of our country. Through collective knowledge and understanding of our history we can work towards true reconciliation.

I found this course incredibly informative and extremely interesting. With the weekly modules broken into stand-alone segments, it was easy to incorporate into the week. As a Metis learning about my heritage late in life, the course helped this journey.
