Incredibly enlightening and inspirational. The truths, hardships and bravery of the Indigenous peoples have transformed my soul. I am forever changed and humbled. Thank you for clarifying my historical lessons and teaching me so much more about history than I have ever learnt.

Thank you so much to Tracey Bear and her skillful team that created and delivered this primer course on Indigenous Peoples of Canada. I thoroughly enjoyed every module. I've also recommended this course to many friends and family, and sincerely hope many of them enjoy it too!!

Indigenous Canada is a very well laid out course and has given me a very good overview of the history of Indigenous people in Canada. As I am an art teacher I enjoyed the reflections on art and how art /crafts were woven into the history and storytelling of indigenous people.

Excellent course that should actually be taught in schools. I hope enough people stumble onto this course as I did as it is something everyone in this country should study to get a better understanding about these issues that do affect all of us who deem ourselves "Canadians".

I have really enjoyed this course, and am so glad that I was able to take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about both the history and the current complexities faced by indigenous people in Canada. This course was well organized, and I appreciated the format as well

The course is absolutely fantastic. It will change your perspective and is very informative in the histories, art, and culture of First Nations. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to further their knowledge on Indigenous Canada and wanting to gain personal growth.

Thank you for this course. It filled in many, many pieces of information about aboriginal people in Canada that was missing in my formal, European-based education. Now I have a fuller insight and knowledge about Canada because without the aboriginal piece, it was incomplete.

I found this course extremely helpful in understanding the history of injustices towards the indigenous people, something my generation did not learn in school. It was touching and well presented and providing much time for discussion and sharing the knowledge with my family.

I enjoyed the course, but it made me realize its a long time since I was in Uni!!!

Sorry, can't help it - that ***!# spell checker has been at it again!!!

Looking forward to more of the same, and I plan to check out these artists - I'm from BC so Bill Reid is the hero!!!

This course is one of the best courses I have ever taken on or off line. congratulations to the University of Alberta and to Tracey bear et al. Thank you so much for this outstanding course. And thank you for including Metis. It is hard sometimes to find ourselves. Thank you.

Being Indigenous and taking the time to continue to educate myself on our past and present was a huge eye opener. My opinion , everyone in our country should take this course to better understand our country and to learn what our indigenous ancestors experienced. Miigwetch

I thought that this course was extremely interesting and sobering to learn more about what settlement, colonization and the dehumanization of the Indigenous people looked like. To strip an entire population of their land, language and way of life was savage, not the people.

The course is an excellent overview of the diversity of indigenous cultures, history, art, resistence and resilience in the face of colonialism (past and current). Perhaps, in the future, it could include the 60 's scoop and more on indigenous literature, poetry, and films.

Fabulous course. Comprehensive and well developed curriculum. Presented complex issues and detailed information in an interesting way. Have recommended course to many. Thanks for this important content. A good foundation to delve more deeply into Canadian indigenous peoples.

What a Great course!! I encourage everyone to take this course. I also think this course should be put into the high school curriculum. Understanding the Indigenous people of Canada is so important. They are the eyes, ears and knowledgeable protectors of our great country!!!

The best course I've ever taken in a MOOC format. It open my eyes to think differently and dig deeper. It even inspired me to write about it back home, because the biggest shock for me, as a new immigrant was.... How do we not hear about any of this in the rest of the world?

The course was really the perfect balance of introductory material and more in-depth examples. I really appreciated the Indigenous-led content, the respect for context, and the different formats for learning. I will definitely be keeping the course notes to look back over!

This introductory course has left me with an expanded understanding of the many issues facing Indigenous Canadians past and present. It has also left me wanting to learn more. Thank you very much to all those involved, for your time and generosity in providing this program.

My heart and mind are full with a new appreciation of the people who called Turtle Island home for 40,000 years before coloniztion called this part of that land, Canada. The course and instructors were insightful, and have helped me along my journey of allyship. Thank you!

I love, love this course. This really gave me insight into the lovely Country of which I'm living in and the kindhearted Aboriginal people I come in contact with everyday.

I want to use this oppootunity to thank all the Professors , Reseraches who made this a huge success.

This was an excellent course to introduce the history and culture of Indigenous peoples of Canada. I took this course to better understand the history as it is now understood and to help unlearn materials that I learned in school as a child in Ontario in the 70's and 80's.

Great course. The speakers seemed to be speaking a slow pace. Watching at 1.25 and 1.5 speeds helped. Some questions given in the quizzes were challenging and not as clear as they could have been and even after reviewing notes, they were still difficult to answer correctly.

I am an adopted Metis Woman reclaiming my heritage. I used to find applying for my Metis Status overwhelming. Now I know it was because I didn't understand my culture. Thank you for starting to fill in the gaps between my colonialized upbringing & the discovery of who I AM!

This was a great course to capsule history of the Indigenous culture. I'm more aware of how things transpired from first contact. It's so unfortunate how the Indigenous peoples were treated and I'm very applauded with our governments who look beyond our Indigenous peoples.

I found this course to be both interesting and informative. I work with an indigenous population and this course has helped to broaden my understanding of this population’s history, thereby assisting me in my practice, especially my advocacy role. Thank you for offering it.
