Thank you so much for this course. Also thanks to Dan Levy for suggesting it. The course and weekly chats helped educate me in Canada's true history, information that I should have received in school.

Wonderful course. I have worked with First Nations schools for many years and I now understand why some of the traditions and practices we do at meetings come from history.

It is an in depth explanation of the history of the indigenous people told in the simplest and most educative way. The sounds, testimonies and paintings makes it memorable.

Everything was great. Very informative. I would have liked to have received a copy of the certificate in the mail... That was the only thing that would have made it better.
