Thank you so much for this course. Also thanks to Dan Levy for suggesting it. The course and weekly chats helped educate me in Canada's true history, information that I should have received in school.

I started following this course out of curiosity, since I wanted to know more about indigenous people in North America. Week by week, it fully grabbed my attention and now, at the end of the course, I will definitely dig for more about the topic.

Well presented! I enjoyed the the history lessons. There is so much that I did not know and realize that there is much more history, good and bad to learn about First Nations People, places & cultures. Thank you for a wonderful start. Well done!

Thank you. It helped illuminate some beliefs that I didn't realize I had and gave me the chance to work through them and understand the hardships and resilience of Indigenous Peoples in Canada. This course should be mandatory for all Canadians.

This course showed me a whole world of things I was unaware of or vaguely aware of in Canada. I had to face my own stereotypical thoughts and preconceptions about the experiences and history of Indigenous peoples who live in what is now Canada.
