north america
This is an excellent course and it hits one right between the eyes and in one's heart about the history of Indigenous peoples not only in Canada, but also in all of North America.
Very informative and useful course, particularly given its Indigenous perspectives on the long, diverse and vibrant history and legacy of First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples in northern North America, as well as more recent and ongoing impact of European colonization and contemporary Canadian society.
This also suits those abroad who should understand the deep and powerful cultural resistance and expressions of Aboriginal peoples in North America - and beyond.
After all had there been more formal territories when NA was colonized, maybe it wouldn't be indigenous Canada, it would be Enoch Territory or Papaschase Territory or State and many others where Alberta currently sits and it would now be the United Territories of North America, but alas that will never be.
Indigenous Canada Course has opened my understanding of the powers that be and the destruction this power had/has over so much.How Indigenous people held on to their culture in various ways to continue into the present, traditionally with modern inclusion.How the Aborigine in Australia have used the North America Indigenous/Aboriginal culture to parallel with theirs.Thank you for allowing me the opportunity of learning more of the cultures where I came from and gaining an appreciation for original "Canadians".
GREAT INSIGHT TO THE HISTORY OF CANADA I have been enjoying the course since it belongs to the Indigenous peoples having a very long history not only in North America but in other European countries.
Perspective for all to begin understanding how the colonial systems uprooted native peoples of North America.

first nations peoples
You will end up with a clear understanding of the First Nations peoples culture and challenges.
Was hoping to learn more about the First Nations peoples and cultures, but instead, I feel I only earned about them in relation to Europeans and racism.
As a Canadian myself, recognizing the challenges faced by First Nations peoples is an important reminder as to the rehabilitative work that needs to be progressive in eliminating the barriers and social constructs that have impacted these communities.
The first step is learning about First Nations peoples and I believe this course has succeeded in its endeavor to educate myself and I trust, many others.
My heart is heavy as I learn how western civilization imposed its values, morals and worldviews on Indigenous peoples.As a correctional nurse working in a maximum security detention centre, I learned how much our punitive justice system is juxtaposed with the once practiced restorative justice system of First Nations Peoples.

great deal
This course is thorough, provides a great deal of information, but most importantly, it encourages self-reflection.
I learned a great deal from it.
I learned a great deal about a wide range of topics, such as the diversity of indigenous groups in Canada, the history of colonisation and its ongoing negative impacts on indigenous communities, and the struggles currently faced by indigenous communities and individuals.I would recommend this course to anyone.
I learned a great deal and have much to think about after completing the course.
I learned a great deal of information with regard to treaties and governance and even the Indian Act.
I learned a great deal and have a new perspective on the history of the land on which I live.
