so grateful for the experience and the opportunity. I am richer for having participated. I am not interested in learning more about the indigenous people that lived/live in my area of the PNW (Oregon)

Highly recommended - I have recommended it some of my staff who are interested in both taking the course and reading the materials. I should note they are First Nations and are as interested as I was.

Extremely informative and well paced course. I only wish the subtitles had been more accurate as I tend to absorb the information better if I can read along.

Good course, a little to much dedication to art, nothing on the 60 scoop, trafficking of Indigenous women, high rates on incarceration, how to work with youth.

Add more interviews with various speakers to keep engagement level up. Speakers did great job but tired of learning from the same method every course. Thanks

Some of the history oriented lectures were a bit difficult to follow, but overall this was an excellent survey course on the subject of Indigineity in Canada

Very informative and I appreciated the units dedicated to feminism and art! Howver, I wish there wasn't so much overlap between the videos and the readings.

So much amazing information. I was disappointed that many questions in the quizzes were ambiguous. There was often more than one potenitally correct answer.

I am very disappointed that I, after completing the course and wanting to support this learning for others, would have to pay $66. to print a certificate.

Really great course. I definitely learned a lot. Best part is that you can take your time with it and it encourages you to delve deeper into these issues.

An edit of course reading materials would perfect this presentation, but that's minor this is a very good introductory course, professionally packaged.

J'ai beaucoup de difficulté avec des choix multiples comme méthode d'évaluation. Les questions ne sont pas clairement posées ceci demande une revision.

The course was informational but could have been easier to learn from if there was more interaction and examples - rather than reading from a textbook.

I wish that the content in the lectures varied a bit more from the written component. Great overview of information. Thank you for all your hard work!

A good introductory course that's flexible and has you re-examining your basic middle school/high-school Canadian history through an Indigenous lens.

Great curse learnt a lot. The only reason for not giving it a 5-star review is week 9 needs to be reworked. Took me 5 tries to pass the quiz for it

I really enjoyed this course. It was enlightning, frustrating and sad at the same time. We should all take the time to learn about our own history.

Great introduction to indigineous culture. Makes you rethink how "the West" is looking at the world and shaping it. This is a mind changing course.

Some of the quiz content focussed more on minute specific details vs an understanding of the modules general message. Fantastic course. Thank you

I was hoping the course would go into more details about Aboriginals, but it is an introductory course, so in that regard it did the job I suppose

This is a great course. It provides a good overview of the history of indigenous people before and after contact, as well as contemporary issues.
