I signed up for the on-line in-class course through Cape Breton University and so did more than 2200.
From Canada and 24 other countries.
And more are joining, according to the Chronicle-Herald Mon. Jan.11/16.
People can register anytime.
It's a free 12-week course. It will cover the Mi'kmaq creation story, oral history and traditions, indigenous governance, and the impact of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
The class is from 6 PM - 8:30 PM.
Personally, I had a problem with the time. I do not want to or will not spend 2 1/2 hours at night at my computer.
But, when I logged in at 6:45, I found the following note, stating I can log on ANYTIME!!
