I urge everyone to use this day to broaden their knowledge about Indigenous peoples: their culture, struggles, and what they have had to endure since colonization.
This course – at University of Alberta – is online, free, self-paced and a great place to start:

That’s weird! 💕
Yes, they’ve been through a lot. I once took a college course on Native Americans. They’ve been down quite a hard road since us Europeans arrived on the scene.
Yeah, that’s for sure. Thanks, TG 💕
I started this course, but didn’t pass the first block. I have every intention of re-registering, so I can complete it.
I audited the course…did not take any testing on it. Some parts were very dry and hard to slog through (treaties) but others were very fascinating to me. Thanks, I hope you are able to go further 💕
Such an important day. Thank you for this post, and the link. Looking forward to seeing you soon.
Me too 💕
Thanks for the link. This is on my list once the snow hits.
That’s a great idea, Bernie. Thanks 💕
And I added it to my calendar to do list with a reminder
Hi Deb – I’ve read a few books, and seen a few films … seen in Canada, as too read since … I have them here to read again and learn from. It’s good they’re offering a course via the university … thanks for remembering – there’s so much to learn from them. All the best – Hilary
Yes, agreed. Thanks, Hilary 💕
So very important. Thank you for sharing and making it known!
You’re welcome, Suz. Thanks 💕
I did the course last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. made me recognize my privilege being a settler and my naivete to how our native peoples have been treated. I would highly recommend this to anyone.
Thank you, Brenda 💕
