Incredible course, very well done. I fully enjoyed, I learned so much and I believe this needs to be compulsory learning in grade school across Canada. I felt a sense of grief learning as I was able to see finally see TRUTH, and everything makes so much more sense to me regarding my history. I am so appreciative and will highly recommend this course.

Amazing that these lessions were never taught in our educational systems. What we were taught only scratched the colonial interpretation of what actually happened. Bravo to the UAB. Well presented in language and format that is easily understood. Congratulations! It ended too soon,. It has given me the kick in the pants I needed to get more involved.

Incredibly well articulated and important history for all to know. I appreciate the intention and thought that went into this course, and it will continue to provide a foundation for my learning and un-learning as a white settler. Thank you so much for the opportunity to gain this knowledge and I commit to moving forward and educating others with it!

This course has served as a memorable addition into my learning about the Indigenous people of Canada. The instructors and guests were a joy to listen to. This course greatly aided in my knowledge of both the successes and hardships of Indigenous Canadians. I express my deepest gratitude to UofA and the Indigenous Canada course associates. Thank-you.

I loved this! Having been raised learning about Canadian History in a much different way, I found this course fascinating and empowering. It has given me the desire to continue learning more about the important and essential impacts that Indigenous peoples and culture in our communities and territories. Thank you so much for making this available!

Growing up in Canada so many Indigenous issues I had no clue about historical harmful Indian Act of Canada. I now have a better heart attitude of understanding. why protest happen over land claims & resource management of the land issues. I can now be better a person and friend to indigenous people for the rest of my days. Thank you for an education.

Amazing. Thank you so much for the time and effort into bringing forward so many issues I was unaware of or pondered. This course truly changed the way I can understand the indigenous peoples, their suffering, their thriving and community. Thank you everyone so much!

And thank you for mentioning the 1491s. I can't stop laughing. New favourite comedy!

As a real newcomer to the facts, ideas and concepts revealed by the course I found it to be a great introduction. Clearly I have much more to learn regarding Indigenous Canada but I believe that this course gives me a good foundation to start exploring other resources. I think that all non-indigenous Canadians would benefit from taking this course.

This course did a very good job of trying to cover a vast amount of information regarding Indigenous Peoples. My knowledge has grown as a result of doing this course. I notice that some of my language is changing as a result. I trust that my thinking will continue to expand and that I will seek opportunities for further growth. Thank you very much.

Hi

I was very shocked and happy to know about the history of Canada. Shocking in a way that i was not knowing about Indigenous people, their sacrifices, efforts to save their lands and much more. M really thankful to the Faculty of Native Studies of University of Alberta to provide this course. Much much more respect to Indigenous people of Canada.

I felt very emotional as I completed this course today. It has opened my eyes to a whole new world and way of being. It has inspired me to keep learning and engage in the hard work of healing this country and it's relationship to the original peoples. Heartfelt thanks to the people who poured their time, heart and energy into creating this course.

The pace was great. topics were varied, which I appreciated as it is an introductory course. I thought I was knowledgable about many of the topics, but I learned so much. The only thing I was disappointed about was the lack of visual images for the final section (art). Seeing the pieces that were being spoken about would have been beneficial.

I enjoyed relearning this course 15+ years later. It was detailed and imformative. I also feel that it gave me a better sense of knowing where I come from and where my intergenerational traumas stemmed from. I look forward to learning more as I am sure this course gets updated every so often. Thank you for the opportunity to take this free course

The course covered so many topics clearly and concisely, so that I feel I have a great basic understanding of the Indigenous community in Canada. This has made be want to learn more, so will definitely be following up with some of the suggested resources. Thanks so much for making this course available ... I will definitely be recommending it.

I just wanted to say this course was truly incredible. I learned a lot that has been omitted from history books and it gave me insight into the challenges, frustrations and perspectives of our rich indigenous culture. Thank you to the teachers, artists and interviewers for opening their hearts to those that want to learn and educate themselves.

Totally enjoyed the learning of the Indigenous on Turtle Island. It is amazing that the course of this nature can be offered for free....so appreciated and thankful. I have told others about this course and have encouraged them to get a better understanding of not only Canadian history but also help understand current events. Top notch course....

As a public servant of European ancestry, I am grateful to have had the opportunity to take this course. It was so informative and answered so many questions I had. It also fills in the many gaps in my knowledge of Indigenous peoples and issues in Canada.

I have recommended this course to many people, and believe every Canadian should take it.

This course corrected the misinformation for me that is prevalent in my community. I am humbled and saddened that indigenous peoples have to struggle to this day with the colonial biases that are still prevalent in this country. My hope is that through courses such as this one, that gap will narrow and we can all live together peacefully soon.

Thank you for your tremendous work and passion in bringing the truth forward. I am ashamed for the past atrocities committed against you and hope I can play a part in moving forward together. Although I have never asked, please accept me and my family here - as we have no other home. I am humbled and grateful to live along side you on this land.

This course included a wealth of information regarding Indigenous people in Canada (and more briefly, North America). the curriculum is a must in my opinion for all Canadians. I loved the information sharing from various professors.

Dan Levy promoted this on social media and this is how I learned about this course. I would highly recommend it.

I recently became a Canadian citizen and really learned a lot from this course. It should be required to become a citizen! The course was very well done and very informative. I enjoyed the artwork that was commissioned for the course and I have better understanding of the history of settler contact and the groups of indigenous people. Thank you!

An incredibly eye-opening, heart-breaking and thought-provoking course. This course sheds a light on the heavy truth that is our country's history. This is a highly recommended course for all Canadians (and beyond) to learn about Canada's history from the Indigenous perspective. Thank you to everyone who made this course possible and accessible.

This is an excellent course. It's clear, concise, varied and easy to follow. It was good to be able to download the course notes and to make notes along the way using the "save note" function. It covered a wide range of aspects that any non-indigenous or unlearned indigenous person can gain much insight and information from. Highly recommended!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this course and would recommend that all Canadians take advantage of learning this perspective. I thought the course was well laid out and the modules spaced appropriately for learning. I enjoyed both the ability to visually learn and listen as well as read along. Thank you to all involved for offering this course for free.

this is a great start to learning about our neighbouring nations. This course allowed me to place historical relevance on ongoing issues, and look at current Canadian situation with knowing the histories a bit more. This was a great first step in learning and now it is up to me to study further and learn more. Thank you for offering this course
