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.

Very insightful. I always hated how history is taught with the settlers' perspective and showed Indigenous peoples as one dimensional peoples.
