This chart shows five vertical bar clusters for each of the following age groups of persons who attended a residential school: total 15 years of age and older, 15 to 34, 35 to 44, 45 to 54, and 55 years of age and older. Each cluster consists of three vertical bars for the North American Indian, Métis and Inuit populations. The 2001 APS revealed that Inuit aged 45 to 54 years were the most likely to have attended a federal residential school (44%), followed by Inuit 55 years and over (30%) and North American Indians 55 years and over (20%).
