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.

I am impressed with the way this course was delivered in multiple ways. It took a while for me to get used to listening to stories but I am a better learner now. Every Canadian needs this teaching.
