Aboriginal Population, 1996
Abstract
Aboriginal populations are prominently found in the territories and in the north of most provinces. "Is this person an Aboriginal person, that is, a North American Indian, Métis or Inuit (Eskimo)?" is the question of Statistics Canada 1996 Census that was used to produce this map.
Aboriginal populations are most prominently found in the territories, but also in the north of the provinces. A large proportion of them are in fact found in northern Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta and Quebec. The northwestern coast of British Columbia also has a high percentage of Aboriginal population. Most Aboriginal people in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador live in Labrador.
