Notes: The category 'Total First Nations' includes those who identified as North American Indian (includes both Status and non-Status Indians). 'Status Indians' includes those with Registered Indian status even if they did not identify as First Nations (North American Indian). 'Non-status Indians' includes all women and children who identified as First Nations (North American Indian) but who did not have Registered Indian status. The numbers given for the Status Indian population in Table 5 may not match the counts given in Table 3 due to rounding procedures. Source: Statistics Canada, Census of Population, 2006. |
