This course was a journey worth taking. I have learnt so much and engaged in self reflections that would make me forever empathise with and appreciate aboriginal world views.

I really appreciated when the Teacher twice quoted the Sioux Lookout Anti Racism Committee. Being from Sioux Lookout we don't get much recognition and it perked me right up.

Fantastic starter for understanding perspective. I can now understand the Canadian news better than I ever have, and I am asking better questions, especially of politicians.

A wonderful course. I learned so much, and I loved how Jean Paul taught it, informally and with humility. I am from Ireland but the material had universal significance.
