Footnote(s)

Footnote 1

Users should be aware that the estimates associated with this variable are more affected than most by the incomplete enumeration of certain Indian reserves and Indian settlements in the Census of Population. For additional information, please refer to the Aboriginal Peoples Reference Guide, Census of Population, 2016.

Footnote 2

'On reserve' includes six census subdivision (CSD) types legally affiliated with First Nations or Indian bands, i.e., Indian reserve (IRI), Indian settlement (S-É) (except for the four Indian settlements of Champagne Landing 10, Klukshu, Two Mile and Two and One-Half Mile Village and Kloo Lake located in Yukon), Indian government district (IGD), terres réservées aux Cris (TC), terres réservées aux Naskapis (TK) and Nisga'a land (NL).

Footnote 3

'Membership in a First Nation or Indian band' refers to whether or not a person is a member of a First Nation or Indian band. An Indian band is defined as a body of Indians for whose collective use and benefit lands have been set apart or money is held by the Crown, or who have been declared to be a band for the purpose of the Indian Act. Many Indian bands have elected to call themselves a First Nation and have changed their band name to reflect this. With the 1985 amendment to the Indian Act of Canada (Bill C-31), many Indian bands exercised the right to establish their own membership code, whereby it was not always necessary for a band member to be a Registered Indian according to the Indian Act.

Counts for specific First Nations and Indian bands reflect self-reported responses to Question 21 on the 2016 Census and may differ from the administrative records collected by the First Nations and Indian bands themselves. Responses to the membership in a First Nation or Indian band question can include general responses such as 'Algonquin' or 'Cree' rather than a specific First Nation or Indian band. As a result, census estimates of the number of members of a specific First Nation or Indian band may be underestimated. Users should also be aware that the estimates associated with this variable are affected by the incomplete enumeration of certain Indian reserves and Indian settlements in the Census of Population.

As a result, users of the detailed First Nation and Indian band data from the 2016 Census should be aware that these data should not be used as official counts of First Nations and Indian bands in Canada. Users should refer to the individual First Nations or Indian bands for counts of their members.

INCOMPLETELY ENUMERATED INDIAN RESERVES AND INDIAN SETTLEMENTS

Users should be aware that the estimates associated with this variable are more affected than most by the incomplete enumeration of certain Indian reserves and Indian settlements in the Census of Population. Any historical comparison of Aboriginal data must include adjustments for incompletely enumerated reserves and settlements and for other changes in the definition and geography of reserves. There are two different adjustments that may be necessary. The first adjustment (Adjusted base) is used for comparison of the same areas across different collection periods. Only the Indian reserves and Indian settlements that participated in all comparison years are included when comparing data. The second adjustment (Residence on or off reserve) is used when comparing the on or off reserve populations over time.

In 2016, there were a total of 14 Indian reserves and Indian settlements that were 'incompletely enumerated' in the Census. For these reserves or settlements, Census enumeration was either not permitted or was interrupted before it could be completed.

Note 1: n.o.s. = not otherwise specified
Note 2: n.i.e. = not included elsewhere

For more information on Aboriginal variables, including information on their classifications, the questions from which they are derived, data quality and their comparability with other sources of data, please refer to the Aboriginal Peoples Reference Guide, Census of Population, 2016 and the Aboriginal Peoples Technical Report, Census of Population, 2016.
