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.

This course showed me a lot about Indigenous history that I didn't know. I was happy you provided the verbal and written versions of all the chapters.

It was extremely well done and insightful. It left me feeling naive and ignorant of our nation's history. I highly recommend this course to everyone.

I learned alot about not only my own culture (Metis) but also other cultures and stories. My favorite unit was the last week for the arts. Well Done!

A long overdue primer - it is a testament to the commitment of colonialism that this content is not mandatory learning in every high school in Canada
