I'm so pleased to have been able to educated myself further on the true history of "Canada", what should have stayed Turtle Island. Being able to continue my learning and hopefully being a better ally

Very informative. They teach history and mention the aboriginal journey, but this tells another story. Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to glimpse into to the world of an aboriginal of Canada.

I think some of the course content needs to be fixed. Some of the multiple choice questions popped up in inapropriate places.

I wish the section on Indigenious women focused more on women and less on gender or you included another section on gender.
