Population reporting an Aboriginal identity, by age group, by census metropolitan areas (1996 Census)

Definitions

Aboriginal population: There are different ways to define the Aboriginal population. Data presented in this table are for those who identified with one or more Aboriginal groups (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.

Census metropolitan area (CMA): a very large urban area (known as the urban core) together with adjacent urban and rural areas that have a high degree of social and economic integration with the urban core. A CMA has an urban core population of at least 100,000, based on the previous census.
