Abstract
The term "Indian" collectively describes all the Indigenous people in Canada who are not Inuit or Métis. Two-thirds of the people who answered affirmatively to the question on Aboriginal identity are North American Indian. The largest number of North American Indians live in Ontario.
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.
