Very well done! Thank you for allowing me to learn more about your history & culture. Being from Ireland and relatively new to Canada I wanted to know more about the beginnings of Canada as a country.

I found this course to be very informative. Thank you for the opportunity to see our shared history from another perspective. I hope this is as groundbreaking for my fellow Canadians as it was for me.

Excellent course that helped me learn more about Canadian history from a different perspective and underlined the fact that we know so little about Indigenous Cultures.

I did not receive the certificate I paid $85. How do I get a shareable copy? Also very difficult to communicate, ask a question such as this, hence using this review...

This course was very informative. I was impressed by how much information was able to be conveyed in such a short amount of time. I wish there was a part 2 and so on.

Absolutely incredible! I was able to learn about the tainted but inspiring history of Indigenous in Canada and even more proud to be an Qalipu Mi'kmaq from Newfoundland

This course, or an age-appropriate version of it, should be mandatory for all Canadian school. It was excellent, both in presentation, but more importantly in content.

Loved it. Videos and materials provided were very interesting. Knowing more about how indigenous people were treated unfairly by us settlers revealed mixed emotions.
