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.

This is a great survey course about Indigenous Canada. As a participant, I have learned and unlearned so much about Indigenous Canadians, and more important, this course has inspired me to learn more.

J'ai adorer apprendre d'avantage sur la culture Amérindienne, Métis et Innu. De voir comment ils se sont fait avoir par le gouvernement me répugne.
