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.

Informative, thought provoking, and most importantly, intrigues me to understand more about our history and ho it relates to modern day issues, concerns and events.

Very informative and was wonderful to finally learn the indigineous perspective on their history, as opposed to what was taught when I was in school (30 years ago).

I only wish I'd taken this course sooner...I am humbled by how little I knew going in; I am inspired by what there is to learn and action moving forward. Thank you!

Enjoyed this course. Wished topics discussed included more of the East coast. Again Canada stops at the Quebec New Brunswick border. That part was disappointing.
