| Summary: | The tables in the topic 'Aboriginal peoples' present data on the Aboriginal peoples of Canada and their demographic characteristics. Depending on the application, counts using any of the following concepts may be appropriate for defining the Aboriginal population: (1) Aboriginal identity, (2) Aboriginal origin, (3) Registered Indian status, and (4) First Nation or band membership. Data from the 2006 Census are available for the geographical locations where these populations reside, including areas with urban/rural and Indian reserve designations. Data pertaining to the socio-economic characteristics of these populations are also available. There are three comprehensive Profile tables: Profiles - Aboriginal Population Profile for Canada, Provinces and Territories, Census Divisions and Census Subdivisions; Profiles - Aboriginal Population Profile for Census Metropolitan Areas and Census Agglomerations; Profiles - Aboriginal Population Profile for Selected Designated Places, Inuit Regions and Indian Band Areas.
