The course offered me the chance for an condensed overview of First Peoples' in Canada. I have studied some of Indigenous Studies, now, to see a wider, more in dept, look and listening I feel more connected or understand my and our Turtle Island people.

This very informative course is an essential resource for anyone looking to gain a comprehensive understanding of Indigenous issues. It’s both educational and thought-provoking, making it a highly recommended experience for students of all backgrounds.

Very informative and thourough, i would like a bit more visuals during the presentations, but otherwise I am very happy that I took part and gained knowledge about Indegineus people, thier culture, thier pracitces and thier overall history. Thank you.

Such a complex course explained in interesting and colourful way.s From history, to interviews, art, and everything in between, I feel much more comfortable with the material now and can say i have a better understanding of Canada's Indigenous peoples.

I hope everyone on Turtle Island and around the globe has the opportunity to consume this course. Excellently presented. Beautifully represented in the artwork. A bit of no-nonsense history to help start Reconciliation. Many many thanks. Miigwetch

Well presented. This course is something that every Canadian should take. It has expanded my knowledge of the effects of colonialism. I hope we can over come the negative effects and begin to learn from our lands original inhabitants. Many thanks.

Absolutely fantastic. This should be embedded in school curricula across Canada. I really appreciated having both the video and text, as well as the follow up reading. Ending with the paintings every week was a delightful way to reflect and learn more.

I'm so glad that I took this course. It has opened my eyes to a history that is never fully told. Thank you to Tracy Bear and all involved for putting together a comprehensive and honest course that highlights the indigenous people's of Canada's story.

I highly recommend this course! learnt a lot more about my culture and history of colonialization. I really enjoyed taking the course and learning. The instructors/professors are great speakers and gave lots of information that gave me food for thought

this was an extremely in depth course compared to other Indigenous training I have taken.

I recommend taking the time to do this and don't be overwhelmed, just do 1 week at a time and slowly you will get all the information contained here.

Being of mixed indigenous and European decent, This course has opened my mind to a history of my families struggles and how it shaped me into who and my place in this world. My eyes are open and I see we need more education of our indigenous peoples.

excellent. Right amount of information and not so much as to confuse or open too many boxes. Really good sense of fundamentals of culture far as i coukd say. Coursera tests are a bit weird now and then, but that does not really affect the experience.

Amazing course! I have recommended this course to my friends and family. As a grade 7 & 8 history teacher, this course has helped me to better understand what I am teaching and to ensure that I am teaching the correct history of Canada! Thank you!!

Amazing! Especially given the recent events in the news I feel really fortunate to have been able to complete this course and educate myself on this topic. This course was very well done, including videos of indigenous peoples and fact based evidence.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course and I highly recommend it to those wishing to further their knowledge of Indigenous culture and history. Thank you for offering this course to the public through an online medium and making it accessible to so many.

Highly informative overview of Indigenous peoples in Canada. This material should formulate part of elementary and high school history curriculum. I will encourage my colleagues and family to take this course to become better informed and sensitive.

I was surprised at how little I understood about Indigenous history - past and present. I thought I was better versed then I am. As a Métis voice on a school board the course certainly has given me more tools to advocate for our Indigenous population.

I really enjoyed learning about the Indigenous people of Canada. My grandfather was Seneca Iroquois. He was not very forthcoming about his childhood or the life that he experienced as being Native in Ontario with any of his children or grandchildren.

This is an excellent course. I am a nurse who has worked with First Nations for the bulk of my 30 year career. I have learned so much in the historical context. Everyone should take this course because most people do not know this history. Thank you!

This course was excellent! The spectrum it covered and the material presented was very well done and relevant. Particularly in the relatively short time span of the course which although I stated short, was perfect and easily digestible. Well Done!

Excellent course!! Gave me a deeper and profound perspective of the Indigenous history in Canada and how important Canada needs Indigenous culture and stories to thrive for the future together. Highly recommended and grateful for the the knowledge.

Very informative, the multi-levels of information, paintings and recordings keep the information relevant and interesting. As a middle-aged woman in Canada, none of this information was taught. This is a beginning of my learning, thank you. Much love

I thoroughly enjoyed this course and would encourage everyone to take it - it was incredibly informative, eye-opening and thought provoking. It also had parts that were heart wrenching. A beautiful culture and an important part of Canada's history.

Such a powerful and thought provoking course. Growing up in BC, very little accuracy of history was thread throughout my education. This course was moving, eye opening and encourages me to want to continue to learn and become a better Ally and person

The course Indigenous Canada is a foundational education that I feel all Canadians should have. I personally appreciate having a greater understanding of the First Nations, Metis, and Inuit people's journey and have much respect for their resilience.
