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.

Every Canadian should take this course. Furthermore, it would be a huge benefit to our society if the content was amalgamated into all school curriculums. #imo

Very deep course. It is hard to realize how cruel people can be. It is sad to understand that even nowadays people can be humiliated.

Thank you for your course.
