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.

I think some of the course content needs to be fixed. Some of the multiple choice questions popped up in inapropriate places.

I wish the section on Indigenious women focused more on women and less on gender or you included another section on gender.
