This was a really great course-I learned so much. I thought the course was very well organized and each module brought many perspectives that I hadn't really been exposed to throughout my education.

This course helped me to get a better understanding of the Indigenous people which in turn helped to appreciate them, their culture and their contribution to society in a more profound way. Thank you

some sections were good, others were hard to navigate

Very biased, coddling way of teaching, aimed to make white people feel 'safe' learning about things, at the expense of Indigenous people. There are numerous facts that have been acknowledged as wrong or even offensive on the discussion boards (such as the use of a slur in place of the proper name for a specific nation). In some cases these were even admitted to be wrong more than a year ago, which have still not been fixed or updated, despite admins on the discussion boards saying they do periodically update the course. I would definitely not recommend this — go find a book actually written by an Indigenous person instead.

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.

I wouldn’t have a clue why anyone would stick with this. There are much more efficient, practical resources out there that are free and actually account for something. The knowledge you are expected to gather from the course is outrageous. Have fun learning!

I am extremely disappointed with such a powerful dose of leftist propaganda and contempt for the European civilizational contribution to these wild regions of the world.

Hides our Indigenous history by deleting researched posts by an Indigemous grad!
