Appendix 3

On some Indian reserves and Indian settlements in the 2006 Census, enumeration was not permitted or was interrupted before it was completed. These geographic areas (a total of 22) are called 'incompletely enumerated Indian reserves and Indian settlements.' Data for 2006 are not available for these areas and, therefore, have not been included in tabulations.

Table 1 shows the 2006 results, by province and territory, of the estimated population for the incompletely enumerated Indian reserves and Indian settlements. Note that in the Atlantic provinces, Manitoba and in the three territories, there are no incompletely enumerated Indian reserves or Indian settlements.

The 2006 estimates in the table are purely 'model-based estimates.' The validity of these estimates depends heavily on whether the model has correctly captured the true underlying situation. This is an unverified assumption. Consequently, these estimates should be used with extreme caution.
