TOP REVIEWS FROM ABORIGINAL WORLDVIEWS AND EDUCATION
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 enjoyed the course very much,
I had hoped for a little more Inuit content though.
The professor was thoughtful and
dedicated to this subject.
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.
Great content! I thoroughly enjoyed it. Very informative and I learned a lot!
Suggestion might be to add new content since it is now 2021. Many things have happened between 2013-2021.
