Aboriginal Peoples Technical Report, Census of Population, 2016
6. Conclusion

Table of Contents More Information

In summary, the census provides essential information on First Nations, Métis and Inuit in Canada. No other sources of information can provide detailed socioeconomic information for such small domains of interest. The Aboriginal population estimates may change over time because of demographic growth, and for a number of other non-demographic reasons. Users of census data on Aboriginal people should be aware of changes that affect the interpretation of the data, including changes to concepts and variables, survey and statistical processes, coverage, legislation and judicial decisions, and the social environment.
