Thank you so much for this course. Also thanks to Dan Levy for suggesting it. The course and weekly chats helped educate me in Canada's true history, information that I should have received in school.

Thanks for teaching me a lot about indigenous history in Canada. I am inspired to learn more. I just finished Chelsea Vowel’s book, Indigenous Writes and I’m currently reading the summary of the RCAP.

History is not my strongest subject. Although I loved the content... I found this too difficult and had to drop course.

This course is beyond stupid. Most of the information was taught in grade school. I understand it may be to teach those who don't know this stuff, but this should not be a application requirement to a school for any reason.

Additionally, this course pushes the bullshit liberal left-wing political agenda rather than actually teaching about the history of the First Nations. The UofA, being an educational institution, should be ashamed of prioritizing the political agenda rather than prioritizing the education of their students.

Apart from being a colossal waste of my time, the last major reason this course is stupid is that it is required to apply for a program that doesn't even relate to the subject. I am going into the stem field and I will NEVER need this information in my future job or education.

If 0 stars is possible you would get -5 stars.

The reason I have taken this Indigenous Canada course it was advertised as a free of charge and yet they charge me $64 dollars for the certificate I never wanted! Coursera is a scammer fake organization. Stay away from this Coursera.org. Do not register any of your credit cards with this scammer origanization.
