I love, love this course. This really gave me insight into the lovely Country of which I'm living in and the kindhearted Aboriginal people I come in contact with everyday.

I want to use this oppootunity to thank all the Professors , Reseraches who made this a huge success.

This was an excellent course to introduce the history and culture of Indigenous peoples of Canada. I took this course to better understand the history as it is now understood and to help unlearn materials that I learned in school as a child in Ontario in the 70's and 80's.

Great course. The speakers seemed to be speaking a slow pace. Watching at 1.25 and 1.5 speeds helped. Some questions given in the quizzes were challenging and not as clear as they could have been and even after reviewing notes, they were still difficult to answer correctly.

I am an adopted Metis Woman reclaiming my heritage. I used to find applying for my Metis Status overwhelming. Now I know it was because I didn't understand my culture. Thank you for starting to fill in the gaps between my colonialized upbringing & the discovery of who I AM!

This was a great course to capsule history of the Indigenous culture. I'm more aware of how things transpired from first contact. It's so unfortunate how the Indigenous peoples were treated and I'm very applauded with our governments who look beyond our Indigenous peoples.

I found this course to be both interesting and informative. I work with an indigenous population and this course has helped to broaden my understanding of this population’s history, thereby assisting me in my practice, especially my advocacy role. Thank you for offering it.

I think everyone in Canada should be required to take this course. I have learnt so much, and am so blessed to have had this opportunity. This course has really opened my eyes, and this content should be seen as mandatory in all school curriculums. Thank you so much truly !

Took this training along with several of my colleagues at the Justice Institute of BC. The material is presented in a very neutral way and invites the learner to draw their own conclusions about the information. Overall, this was a tremendous learning experience. Thank you!

I found the course very informative with a broad range of issues. The topics were covered in an in-depth manner. Perhaps a new modules could be added to cover developments that have taken place in Canada over the past six years in support of Indigenous community concerns.

So rich and informative. I have passed along information about this fantastic course on social media and my independent radio show... I hope folks take advantage of this deep dive into the culture, wisdom and history of our fascinating First Nations brothers and sisters...

12 weeks of a greater understanding and learning experience! A Thank you goes out to everyone that made this possible .The presentation and multiple formats of info was so well done . I want to pass it along as much as possible . The more we learn the more we understand .

This was an incredibly thoughtfully developed course, and I learned so much about indigenous history that should have been mandatory curriculum in elementary and secondary Canadian education. Thank you Dr. Tracy Bear, University of Alberta, et al for your wonderful course!

The videos and content covered a huge amount of history in very digestible sections. Enough detail to get an understanding, while also recognizing there is much more learning, healing, growing forward to go from here. Thank you for making this course available to everyone.

This course should be a high school course as a part of Truth and Reconcilitation. I as a European settler here learnt so much. It was great to learn this from an Indigenous peoples percpective. This is part of the truth of the past that will move us all on to the future.

This gives a good overview of Indigenous history in Canada and includes past and present issues. It gives someone a good starting point to help them explore some of the topics further. This would be great to have as a manditory course for Canadian High School students.

I so enjoyed this course. It brought back great memories of my time in Inner City Social Work/ off campus of U of M. This was a revisiting for me. Personal growth and development. But would like to know if certificate of completion is offered. Or does one need to purchase

I did not know what to expect from this course and had no idea on how much suffering there has been. I have a much differnt outlook on Indigenious people as it opened my eyes ,learned a lot and understand. This was never taught in the 80's The instructors were amazing.

This was a great way to begin my education on Indigenous peoples in Canada and it is by no means an end. I will be continuing to educate myself, and hopefully those around me as well! Thank you to the course instructors and to Ualberta & coursera for offering this course.

I thoroughly enjoyed Indigenous Canada! All units provided me insight and eye opening information on our Indigenous people, that is not seen in our history books. I have been able to apply and communicate this material to my grandchildren. Well done University of Alberta!

Excellent primer course, well taught. Allowed me to evolve in my way of thinking and reacting to Indigeneous realities and concerns. Has reshaped my understanding of Canadian history and be more open to changes supporting Indigenous peoples moving forward. Thank you.

It was AWESOME! I learned so much and have shared with everyone I know and encouraged them to take it! Thanks for making this free and thereby encouraging so many canadians to take! Please make more like this - I'd really like to know more about Indigenous issues too!

The course is really great! I have definitely learned a lot about Indigenous history and culture. I am a Spaniard and an American, and I would recommend that everyone take this course- even if you're not Canadian, as it is both very educational and interesting. Thank you!

I enjoyed the presentation format: "bite size" video teachings inter-spaced with the quiz

You packed a lot of material into the program giving a great survey / perspective of the key issues from pre-contact to present day... which inspires deeper desire for further study.

Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to explore many aspects of Canada’s Indigenous Peoples. I learned a great deal and am surprised at my age that I had so many knowledge gaps to fill. This was an exciting experience and I now perceive with clearer eyes. Best wishes.

Such an informative course! I recommend that every Canadian take this course. It is truly shameful that so little is taught in our school's curriculum about this country's history. We as a nation have a long way to go before the wrongs of the past will ever be righted.
