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.

Thank you to all the speakers for this course.

For me, it perfectly completes a first course that I took at UQAM dedicated to contemporary Aboriginal art.

This course was enlightening and painful. So much was not taught to us as settlers. My heart aches for what was and continues to be done to our first nations in Canada.
