Thank you to all who put this course together and presented so well. I learned here all what I should have learned in the school system and in popular culture in Canada. I am prompted to keep learning. I feel that my eyes have begun to open to the impact of colonization and indigenous resistance. I promise to keep them open. Redress is a long time coming but it must surely come.

This course was excellent and very informative. As a Mohawk man from Tyendinaga Ontario, I wish material like this could just be taught to all highschool students across the country instead of the false information they learn in the history books we have today. The country can only begin to heal when the proper information is taught. Nia;wen for the work you put into this course.

All three presenters were captivating! The course material was wonderfully laid out; not with just narratives, but stories, interviews and videos. Leah Dorion's artwork was magical. It was one of my favorite parts of the course. Her ability to tell a story and flow the pictures together was beautiful. This was such a great course. I have recommended it to many people. Thank you!

Amazing course. Outstanding faculty and teachers. Fostering and encouraging compassion, appreciation and love through understanding. It was amazing to add this to the resources for my continued effort to learn about the amazing indigenous people of North America. This sort of course should 100% be required, at a bare minimum, for anyone who enjoys a colonialist/settler lifestyle.

Excellent! The content was informative, educational, thought provoking, humbling and inspiring. All of the presenters were great. Based on this course, I would take any course offered by Dr. Bear. I will (and have) highly recommend this course. It is a course on truth which is a fundamental component to reconciliation. Thank you for the opportunity to learn more truths.

I found this course, enlightening, interesting, and informative! I went to school in the 50s, 60s, and 70s,

and my lack of knowledge of Indigenous peoples, was an eye opener. What I learned during my schooling

was minimal and very one sided. As a Canadian adult, I attempted to keep current, with the world around me.

This course, Indigenous Canada, has broadened my knowledge base.

This course was outstanding to me on my journey to better understand other cultures that are different from mine and to gain a better understanding of indigenous and aboriginal peoples. I now have a better understanding for the First Nations peoples and of the affects of colonialization in North America from a very different perspective. My eyes were really opened. Thank you!

Thank you for such a wonderful and enlightening course. I think it is important for all Canadians to learn and understand our history. The course is thought-provoking and dynamic. The inclusion of interviews and utilization of different media throughout the course make it very engaging. I found the time spent in each lesson went by so quickly because the material was pres

I appreciated the informative and engaging knowledge that was so wonderfully presented with current and historical information. The art was beautifully created and thoughtfully designed with the history woven into the artwork. I started each lesson with the artwork because of the beauty. Thank you so much! This course opened my eyes to the side of history I never learned about.

I thought I knew a little of Native Canadian history, this course showed me I knew less than a little. Engaging, informative, historical, unbiased and factual it opened my eyes. Credit to the presenters for managing to remain unbiased and steady whilst dealing with some difficult subjects. I was not as professional as them. Highly recommended for anyone and everyone. Thank you.

This was a very thoughtful, thorough, and well-presented course. The content was insightful and relevant, and the delivery was excellent. I enjoyed the variety of speakers and the supportive resources, images, and maps. My highlight was the infusion of Indigenous art to accompany each module's learning, and the final module on Indigenous art practices and movements. Thank you!

Indigenous Canada is an important course that all Canadians should take to gather important knowledge of the Indigenous people of this country. We do not learn enough about the Indigenous history or culture in our school systems. This course is necessary to build understanding. The instructors were amazing and I really want to continue my education to learn more. Thank you.

Great introduction to a beautiful culture. So vast and diverse, this course gave me an idea of what I "thought" I knew, and what I would like to now understand better. The designers of the course did a great job of trying to encompass, hundreds of years of history and complicated issues/challenges, whilst also highlighting the beauty of indigeneity (new word for me). Thank you

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. The detailed content and expert presentation made this one of the most engaging and enjoyable courses for me yet via the Coursera platform. I am First Nation New Zealand Maori so could relate to all of the content in a very personal way. My heartfelt thanks to all involved in the creation and publication of this MOOC. Nga mihi nui kia koutou!

This was an insightful and engaging course. All the material was presented in a dynamic and easy to understand manner. Hosts of the course were excellent and there was great variety in how the information was presented to appeal to all types of learners. Very glad I took this course and feel I have a significantly greater understanding and appreciation of Indigenous Canadians.

Amazing. If you have not taken this course, you should. Everything from the content to the flow of the course, to the instructors and guests are amazing. The content leaves you wanting to see the follow up to this course that dives into greater detail on the lessons (please create a follow up course or suggestions for further learning). Highly recommend to anyone and everyone.

This course taught me so much about the country I live in, our borrowed land and the neglected history of our aboriginal brothers and sisters. As an educator, I am so amazed by my lack of awareness and am grateful for the opportunity to learn so that I may be able to more accurately reflect the truth in my teachings. Thank you so much for this wonderfully put together program.

This course offered me a whole new version of my country's history - not the one I was taught throughout elementary and high schools. It has made me think, and look at what I "know", with a more critical eye and, I hope, a less biased perspective. I appreciate the work that went into creating this course, and offer my thanks to all who gave of their time, knowledge and wisdom.

I thoroughly enjoyed taking the Indigenous Canada course. I learned a so much about the Indigenous culture and history, I feel more connected in so many ways and I am grateful for the opportunity to become more educated regarding the myriad of topics and videos that were part of this course. Great content and presenters. I would highly recommend this course to all Canadians.

Very insightful and covered so many facets of Canadian Indigenous history. As a descendant of a country overseas that also was colonized it was interesting to relate to the experience of people here going through a similar experience. Generational trauma is real and it's sad that it took this long to acknowledge it.

I'm going to recommend this course to my colleagues! Thanks

This was an excellent course that should be taught at the high school and post secondary levels. I learned so much that I did not know before, and I was moved with the learning. It has reshaped my views on Canada's history and why it's important to understand the past to better understand the future. If other similar courses are offered I will be taking them in the future.

This course was absolutely outstanding !!! I learned so much (that i should have learned in school). The course was very well laid out with a nice mix of lecture, interviews and learning about art. Quizzes were challenging ! I am truly thankful to have had this opportunity and will recommend to all my friends who need to know how about Canada's read history (and present) .

I knew little of Aboriginal history and culture, despite being born and raised in Ontario, and this was a great way to dive in. It has inspired me to find more information, view more art, and offer support anyway I can. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Your passion and knowledge showed throughout all of the courses, drawing me in along with you. Thank you!

Not only did I learn so much from the Indigenous Canada course, but I also thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Every week, I looked forward to signing on and following the rich and dynamic lessons and multidisciplinary approach to the important topics discussed. This course has inspired me to continue learning and deepening my understanding. Thank you all for this opportunity.

This course provides essential learning for every Canadian. We do not get this perspective through our education system and without it, we lack the ability to understand current issues around race and the environment. I encourage everyone from colonialist descent to take this course with an open mind, you will see your country in a new light and that will be a positive thing.
