Aboriginal Population, 2001

In the 2001 census, people who identified themselves as Aboriginal accounted for 3.3% of the nation's total population, compared with 2.8% five years earlier. This represents a total of 976 305 persons whom identified themselves with one of these groups - North American Indian, Métis or Inuit. This count was 22.2% higher than the 1996 figure of 799 010. In contrast, the non-Aboriginal population grew only 3.4% between 1996 and 2001.
