TOP REVIEWS FROM ABORIGINAL WORLDVIEWS AND EDUCATION
Lots of good information delivered in a classroom location with interaction with those students. Great videos to add to the lectures as well. Thank-you.
Very informative course! I learned a lot about First Nations history an now feel more informed about topics that I never understood or had questions about.
First Nations in Canada. This one is head and shoulders above the rest.
Thanks ever so much for putting on the course, it was incredible and possibly life changing learning experience.
The course material is useful, indepth and eye-opening. A great course explaining various views. I have a much better understanding of the culture and challenges.
