Such important information for us all. This course was eye-opening and should really be taken by every Canadian. The course flows along nicely and is easy to navigate. I am better for having taken it.

Even though I live in the U.S., there was overlap, and I loved learning more about the Indigenous People of Canada (and they were they are treated by that government)

Loved it. Its very informative. It should be a part of general education in all Canadian schools. I wish there was a little more information about the Mik'maq people.

Enjoyed this course. Wished topics discussed included more of the East coast. Again Canada stops at the Quebec New Brunswick border. That part was disappointing.
