Determining the Inuit population : definitional issues and differences / [developed by] Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami and Research and Analysis Directorate (INAC).: R2-449/2006E-PDF

This report is the first in a series that looks at part of the social, demographic and economic changes experienced by Inuit in Canada over the past 20 years. Based on census information, one of the purposes of this document is to compare and contrast the total Inuit ancestry, the Inuit-only ancestry and the mixed Inuit and non-Inuit ancestry groups. There are many ways to define the Inuit population using data from the Census, with each population having somewhat different socioeconomic characteristics. The second purpose of this document is to explain why the total Inuit ancestry population was chosen as the key population in this series. Finally, this report will focus on how the census questions used to determine the Inuit population have changed over time and on the impacts that these changes have had from one year to the next. Some information on differences in the way people have answered these questions will also be provided.
