Indigenous Canada gave me a great overview of the history of Canada, and the even older history of the Indigenous Peoples of these lands as well as helping me see more of the stories, culture, language, and realities of the original natives of this place.  It’s exciting, interesting, thoughtful, and challenging – presented well, and in an engaging, easy to access manner. Highly recommended! - Alastair McCollum, incumbent St John the Divine, Victoria
