Notes :
Percents may not add up to 100 because responses of 'don't know', 'refusal' and 'not stated' were included in the calculation of all estimates and rounding.
Children were identified as 'North American Indian'; however in the ACS analytical article the term "First Nations children" is used throughout the report.
The category "Mother" includes birth mother, step mother (including common-law step parent), adoptive mother and foster mother.
The category "Father" includes birth father, step father (including common-law step parent), adoptive father and foster father.
Not stated' includes 'not stated', 'don't know' and 'refusal'.
