I am impressed with the way this course was delivered in multiple ways. It took a while for me to get used to listening to stories but I am a better learner now. Every Canadian needs this teaching.

Excellent course

I am horrified to think I "completed" my education without ever learning the information presented in this course.

A real eye-opener.

Thank-you

Some content was challenging to go through, which is as it should be. This kind of content about our history needs to be a part of Primary School education.

The concept of treaties & contractual obligations challenged me to reevaluate my current understanding of Canadian history with respect to the first Nations.

The course was excellent! However, the transcriptions with the videos need to be looked at as there are many incorrect AI interpretations of speakers' words.
