What I enjoyed in particular about the course is the last module where you walk through history with your own family to see the impact on your community through time. I thought it was a really cool and interactive way to educate. I found the whole course was well done and is presented in a way where it isn’t boring at all”.

This course provides a very balanced overview of the history of the indigenous people in Canada since the 1600’s. I came out of the course with a more open mind, ready to learn more.
