This was one of the best online courses I have taken. It was well written, great material related to my own personal development and gave me a better understanding of the Indigenous Peoples in Canada.

This course helped me to get a better understanding of the Indigenous people which in turn helped to appreciate them, their culture and their contribution to society in a more profound way. Thank you

Great introduction to indigineous culture. Makes you rethink how "the West" is looking at the world and shaping it. This is a mind changing course.

Some of the quiz content focussed more on minute specific details vs an understanding of the modules general message. Fantastic course. Thank you

I was hoping the course would go into more details about Aboriginals, but it is an introductory course, so in that regard it did the job I suppose

Overall it was very informative. I was however disappointed that the Maritimes were not recognized and discussed as I feel they should have been.

This is a great course. It provides a good overview of the history of indigenous people before and after contact, as well as contemporary issues.

Great introduction to the topic - for some weeks I wish there would have been maybe book recommendations if you wish to further your knowledge.

It was a very informative course, there were some inconsistencies between the videos, the notes and the quizes. Should be checked for accuracy.

more visual material would have been welcome, ie seeing some of the art that was discussed in the final module. Overall, a wonderful resource.

There was many new learnings in the course and helped to reframe previous education from a traditional education from a colonial perspective.

A more balanced approach would be helpful. Were there not wars, famines, etc before settlers arrived? Were elders and tradition always right?

Some questions on the quiz were tricky, but they could be more about emphasizing reading the notes. Other than that, it was a great course!

It needs to update but good history. I especially enjoyed Week 12 on Indigenous Art. I would have liked to see more of the artists work.

Very interesting to learn of new perspectives. It was a good course to build on other Indigenous studies courses taken prior to this one.

I wish that they teach more about why they call " Indian", Religion, Canada name history. I found that questions for quiz a little long.

loved the course, The treaty chapter was very complex, and maybe could have been split into two units. Very interesting, learned lots.
