This is a great survey course about Indigenous Canada. As a participant, I have learned and unlearned so much about Indigenous Canadians, and more important, this course has inspired me to learn more.

I really enjoyed the course! So much I didn't know about the history. I also didn't have a true understanding why there is so much discourse between Indigenous people and government. Total eye opener.

The content was excellent and I learned a lot, but the instructional design was very poor. I gave 4 stars based on the content alone.

I was able to learn so much, very well put together and above all it was presented in a fair non judgmental but more educational way

Thank you for this course, while I knew some of the history, mostly from the other side, it was very enlightening to see both sides.

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