I majored in Native Studies during my BA 20 years ago, but I still learned a lot from this course. The units on art, gender roles, and Indigenous people in urban centers were especially interesting.

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.

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
