This course was very interesting and very informative. Not only did it help correct stereotypes or prejudices, it showed a wide range of subjects pertaining to global and specific Indigenous cultures.

Extremely relevant, the video lectures are well-produced and engaging to a non-Aboriginal audience (such as myself).
