Projections of the population with Aboriginal identity in Canada, 1991-2016 / by Mary Jane Norris, Don Kerr, François Nault.: Z1-1991/1-41-184E-PDF

"This report presents population projections of the Aboriginal population in Canada using information derived from the 1991 Aboriginal Peoples Survey (APS). The APS is a postcensal survey which was conducted in the Fall of 1991, following the national census in June. The present report relies upon this survey in defining the population for the base year of the population projection. Since the APS measures the Aboriginal population in a different manner from the Census, the size of the projected Aboriginal population is substantially different from what has been reported elsewhere. Projections have been prepared for persons who identify with any of the following groups: (i) the North American Indian population, (ii) the Métis, and (iii) the Inuit. With respect to the North American Indian population, this group is further delineated according to legal status, i.e., whether they are registered or non-status (as defined by the Indian Act). Separate projections of each group are made for regions of the country - provinces and territories either separate or grouped -- further broken down by place of residence (i.e. on-reserve, rural and urban)"--Intro., p. 1.
