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.

This was one of the best online courses I have taken. It was well written, great material related to my own personal development and gave me a better understanding of the Indigenous Peoples in Canada.

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.
