Thanks for teaching me a lot about indigenous history in Canada. I am inspired to learn more. I just finished Chelsea Vowel’s book, Indigenous Writes and I’m currently reading the summary of the RCAP.

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.

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.
