Abstract
Inuit are the Aboriginal people of Arctic Canada. The word “Inuit” means “the people” in Inuktitut, the Inuit language, and is the term by which Inuit refer to themselves. The Inuit population is almost entirely situated north of the 50th parallel.
For the first time in 1996, Statistics Canada asked a question about Aboriginal identity, whereas in previous censuses the figures on Aboriginal peoples were derived mainly from a question about ancestry.
