(North American Indian, Métis, or Inuit). Also included are those who did not identify
with an Aboriginal group but who reported that they were Registered/Treaty Indians or
Band/First Nation members. The 1996 Census also provides information on those who reported
Aboriginal ethnic origin/ancestry. For more information, contact your local Statistics
Canada regional office. Mother tongue: the first language learned at home in
childhood and still understood by the individual at the time of the census.
Non-official languages: languages other than the two official languages of
Canada: English and French. |
