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!

Truly happy I was given the opportunity to complete this course on-line. I commend each and every person who contributed to making my learning journey so far a pleasant experience.

Thank you for your time, effort and for speaking your truth.

I hope to continue my learning in this fashion.

What an incredible learning experience! Completing this course has set me in motion to learn more and continue on my own journey of understanding the many different peoples & cultures within the collective of our Indigenous peoples and their Nations. I am just starting to understand now.

An excellent purveyor of history, culture and arts. A clear message to all of us for the need for Indigenous tribes to establish their rightful claims, proper status and knowledge. A reconning for all of of us is needed to heal the abuse and neglect that has transpired for generations.

This was an excellent course! So necessary and relevant. The content, presentation, format and testing was well done, for any level of learner. I thoroughly enjoyed each module - they were powerful and thought provoking. I can't thank you enough for making this available to everyone.

Fantastic course that provided a very good introduction to Indigenous life and culture in Canada and North America. Only criticism is that the session quizzes are poorly written and test more your ability to decipher double negatives than knowledge of what is being taught in the program.

This course was five star.I regretted coming to last section and completing as that marked the end of my journey. As a Canadian from Alberta and Emma Lake Saskatchewan and living here in Bermuda for 30 years, I was reminded that our past is us. Where we come from is who we are. Thank you

Thoroughly enjoyed. It has helped greatly in broadening my knowledge and understanding of Indigenous

history, culture and relationship to settler society.

My suggestion would be to consider an update to the curriculum to reflect what is happening currently especially with regard to UNDRIP.

What a wonderfully informative and poignant grouping of modules. Thank you so much for compiling these into a course that all Canadians should participate in. My eyes and heart have been opened to an alternate viewpoint than the traditional education system text book version of events.

Thank you so much for everything shared within this course. It has definitely helped me be more sensitive to the struggles and achievements of the peoples of Indigenous Canada. It has also led me to a more realistic view of the impacts of colonialism. My deepest respect for your work.

I learned so much! Thank you for offering this course. This should have been a part of my education as a Canadian. I was overwhelmed over and over again by the generosity of our Indigenous peoples, historically and presently. I highly recommend this course for all educators. Many thanks.

This was a fabulous course, I was thrilled to have taken (and completed) the course and will definitely use the information in my role as an educator. I will absolutely use the suggested readings and look forward to any future Indigenous Studies courses through the University of Alberta.

This course was eye opening and really incredible. I was blown away by how much I learned and will be taking with me as a Canadian. I am inspired to learn more and to volunteer at my local Friendship Center. Thank you to the U of A for facilitating this important and wonderful course.

I've learned so much more than I knew about the Indigenous people. Thank you very much for the truth and I pray that this course will be taken by many Canadians so we can try to have some understanding of the hurt and pain that the First Nations, Inuit & Metis people have gone through.

I would give it 6 stars out of 5. The emic-ethic dichotomy is important here. The point of view of indigenous peoples lies closer to the world experienced by the informants than the view from the outside. Excellent teaching and learning resources. A credit to all involved in the course.

At the very least, this course should be part of the curriculum at all elementary schools in Canada. It is no longer acceptable to only learn the 'settler' version of Canada's founding. I have enjoyed learning the other side of our history. Thank you for making this course available.

Amazing introductory overview about all the complexities and the way our history evolved. I highly recommend taking this course for any Canadian that cares about this nation, and cares to have a better awareness of how our roots. Knowing is growing, and in this case, knowing is caring.
