I enjoyed this course immensely! It was so informative and opened my eyes to many of the injustices I wasn’t fully aware of. I feel much more confident in moving forward to learning and understanding more of the issues the indigenous communities face.

Thank you for sharing this.

This course was outstanding. I was amazed at the depth of material covered. I highly recommend this to anyone with an interest in the history of Indigenous Canada. Thank you so much to the writers and presenters for the respectful and insightful information presented throughout the modules.

I thank those who have participated in the making of this course and making it readily available. It has provided a glimpse into the history of Indigenous Canada and a desire to learn so much more. Also a desire to participate in whatever way possible for the reconciliation that is needed.

This was an excellent course. Informative, provocative, empowering. It was so well laid out, presented, video taped and written. I am going to encourage my teaching colleagues to take it. Thank you. Hay ch qa from Nanaimo the unseeded territory of the Snuneymuxw First Nations, Coast Salish

I found this course very informative. It gave me an understanding and empathy for the Indigenous people. I am 65 years old and have never had the opportunity to learn these things covered in this course. I hope many more people will take advantage of this. Thank you so much for offering it!

I have an even greater respect for my Indigenous brothers and sisters, my wish is for all land claims to be settled to honour the original treaties with the original caretakers of our lands. Racism and disrespect has always troubled me, even as a young child. I pray for harmony and respect.

This was a very educational course presented in a highly impactful manner. The use of the artwork for each section was very powerful. I believe that if people would complete this course prior to forming opinions with regards to Indigenous issues they would have a much broader perspective.

Incredibly eye opening and moving course. Education, acknowledgement and active reconciliation is the role of every Canadian. The importance of inter-connectivity or relations with one another, our environment and spiritually is a key theme that will continue to resonate with me. Thank you.

Amazing course. As a Non-Indigenous person with only a vague understanding of Indigenous Peoples history this really open my eyes to both the past and present of Indigenous Peoples. I truly believe this course should be made a mandatory component of the high school curriculum across Canada.

This course is something all Canadians should be taking to be informed about the truth of the culture histories, rich stories and foundational knowledge of Canada's First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples. Grateful for all of your knowledge sharing and art responses that inform each module.

Very informative course. I was very pleased with the videos, the readings and the art work. I learned so much. It does surprise me so much on what I did not know.

I feel this course needs to be taken by all University Students and perhaps by all grade 11 students in the Province of Alberta.

I loved every part of this course. It was fascinating and refreshing; my knowledge and understanding was limited and biased before. I thoroughly enjoyed my learning journey. I would highly recommend this course. In fact, I think it should be mandatory in public high schools across Canada!

thank you for introducing me to so many new insights into the Indigenous culture and history. I'm sorry our ancestors were such narrow minded colonists. It is my hope that as we move forward, we can both reconcile our differences, forgive and create a more harmonious and respectful Canada.

Excellent content. Alot of content. Perhaps greater use of engagement (mini quizzes along the way) could keep info top of mind. Overall, I am very pleased to have taken the course and have recommended to many. Education is key. Thank you for offering a venue for such essential learning.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course and gained valuable knowledge. There are a few items that are out of date, like the info about Neechi Commons, but I was able to research the proper information myself. Sad to see that such a valuable space has been forced to close due to financial problems.

This course should be mandatory for all Canadians. It is honest, detailed, and easy to understand and follow. There is honestly no excuse for anyone to continue living with blind ignorance to the things that happen to Indigenous Canadians and other minority groups. Know better, do better.

I am so grateful to have begun my learning of the history of this land and its people with this course.

It was very insightful and educational. I appreciate so much learning from Indigenous people about their history and culture and hope everyone takes advantage of this phenomenal learning.

Your hosts and instructors create a clear and impressive account of Canada's First Nations people. The struggles, conflict and persistence are so much more real to me now and I feel I have obtained a much better understanding of their perspective. Thank you for sharing this with the world.

So much detailed information I never knew. Very interesting. I am sharing this course with everyone I know. Such a great place to begin in learning about how Canada came to be, and all the years prior. Those very important years prior that need to be heard and understood and acknowledged.

This is a fantastic beginner course. If you're not a beginner you'll be wanting more. If you're in the community you know most of this, but there's still some interesting information. Very cree-centered information as well, which is fine. But there are other communities in AB to consider.

Through this course I have gained a lot of knowledge about Indigenous People and their Culture. I would never consider myself a racist or to be prejudiced against anyone but I also believe, through this course I have disassembled some ingrained prejudices I had. Great Course. Thanks

I really enjoyed the course. The videos, course notes and artist explanations helped me understand the material more thoroughly. The course also covers a broad range of topics and I was able to learn many things I had previously not known about the history of Indigenous peoples in Canada.

the history , perspectives are illuminating

with all the recent media, increased awareness happening now, I would have appreciated another module on " what you can do now" the small pieces anyone/ average person can do, what heath regulators can do, local politicians, schools/teachers

Extremely happy I decided to enroll for this course. I wish I had an opportunity to learn more about every topic when I was growing up in Northern Alberta during elementary/high school. A big thank you to the 3 facilitators of this course. I highly recommend this course to every Canadian!

This course was absolutely beneficial and fascinating to work through. The materials are provided with mutiple media formats, which really assisted my ability to take in the knowledge through different senses. The artwork that accompanies each module was stunning. Great job and thank you!
