I found this course to be very informative. Thank you for the opportunity to see our shared history from another perspective. I hope this is as groundbreaking for my fellow Canadians as it was for me.

This was a really great course-I learned so much. I thought the course was very well organized and each module brought many perspectives that I hadn't really been exposed to throughout my education.

I no longer reside in Canada, so it was informative to take this class and update my knowledge as my minor was in Indian Studies. It had my brain ticking and thinking about how I can introduce these concepts to my children who are not growing up in Saskatchewan.

This course was incredibly well done and eye-opening. The information provided in each topic was fitting to the goal and gave beneficial details creating a connection with the material and an individuals voice. I wish my Grade system Education had taught me this.

A comprehensive, well-developed and eye-opening course. It provides an important step in gaining a more realistic view of our history. As a result, I hope to open up conversations with some Indigenous people and create a more sustained dialogue. Many thanks.

I really enjoyed this course! I have many First Nations & Metis friends and have experienced a lot of their culture of the Plains Cree. I love it all! I learned so much more about many other indigenous people of Turtle Island. Thank you for this experience.

Thank you. I've just completed the last module and Thomas King's words are on my mind: "Don't say in the years to come that you would have lived your life differently if only you had heard this story. You've heard it now." I intend to act on what I've learned.

This course was well-thought-out and informative. My favourite part was the art that was commissioned specifically for this course to represent the main topics that were discussed. It really brought the history and culture of Indigenous people in Canada to life.

I very much enjoyed the course and appreciated the generosity of content, thank you. I think the end of modules questions need a fair amount of revisions as they are confusing. Once the course is completed, it would be useful to obtain a set of correct answers.

Amazing course that should be mandatory learning for every Canadian. I can only hope my children will be properly educated on the history of colonization and Indigenous Peoples. This course was a pure gift. It is the first step for me in a journey to learn more.

This course blew me away. It provided a foundational base of knowledge to the history of Indigenous peoples in Canada, and provided me with a deeper understanding of importance of protecting Indigenous rights. This should be a mandatory course for all Canadians.

Thank you for an outstanding course! I really learned so much about our First Nations history, people and culture. My new perspective will help me teach students at my high school. The teachers, videos, art, lesson transcripts were all wonderful. Take care. John

This was an incredible course, and it was such a gift to learn from these teachers. Valuable wisdom about everything from ethical non-interference to environmental resource management & gender studies abound! This should be required learning for North Americans.

Terrifically informative. This course educated me, shocked me, and opened my eyes to aspects of the realities Indigenous people face in our country today and how they came to be. I have so much more to learn and am grateful for the teachings provided. Thank you!

Excellent, thorough content. I have taken other indigenous studies courses but I found this content both engaging and accessible, and highly relevant. I think this course is a must for all settlers and is a good CE requirement for those in the public services.

I thoroughly enjoyed taking this course and found myself wanting to learn more. I was at times shocked, disappointed in our past but above all else, learning to empathize and make a vow to understanding more of the Indigenous journey in Canada. Great program.

Thank-you - Miigwech!

I learned a lot from this course but more importantly, I gained another perspective of Canada's history. The pace and variety of course materials was very well done and I feel the topics covered a good, broad overview of Indigenous Canada.

Every person living in the Western hemisphere should take some kind of course on Indigenous culture and history, paricularly of the first inhabitants from the region where they live. All non-indigenous inhabitants in the Western hemisphere live on stolen land!

Thank you for providing this educational experience. I learned a whole bunch of things I wasnt aware of before and expanded knowledge I did already have. I believe this course is important for all Canadians to take as we work towards Truth and Reconciliation!

This course was life changing! It was incredibly moving and informative and I didn't want it to end and that as sparked something in me to keep learning and doing more for the indigenous people of Canada. Thank you for giving me and the people this opportunity!

I believe that the school system should embrace these studies at the very early stage of all children starting school and it should also be included in the current immigration testing system for any new looking to migrate to Canada to make Canada as their home.
