 This series of
maps illustrates the distribution of the Aboriginal identity
population in Canada by means of 1996 Census data. Through
history, many terms have been used to describe the Aboriginal
peoples, and many methods to enumerate their population. For
the first time in 1996, Statistics Canada asked a question
about Aboriginal identity, whereas in previous censuses the
figures on Aboriginal peoples were derived mainly from a question
about ancestry.
