RURAL DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE Aboriginal Population 1 July 2014 www.brandonu.ca/rdi/ HIGHLIGHTS • In 2011, the number of Manitoba residents identifying as Aboriginal was 195,895. • This represents 17% of Manitoba’s total population. This share is higher than in any other province, but lower than in the northern territories. • The largest group that self-identified was First Nations with a population of 114,230. Within this group, 27% resided in the Winnipeg CMA and 73% resided in non-metro areas. • In Manitoba’s 4 northern CDs, the share of the population with an Aboriginal identity ranged from 51% in CD #21 (includes Flin Flon and The Pas) to 95% in CD #19 (includes Berens River). Bollman, Ray D., & Ashton, W. Rural Development Institute, Brandon University, Brandon, Manitoba, July, 2014. WHY ABORIGINAL POPULATION? In 2011, the Aboriginal identity population in Manitoba was 196 thousand (17% of Manitoba’s total population). Aboriginals have a higher birth rate and their share of Manitoba’s population is expected to increase. The objective of this Factsheet is to document the share of Manitoba’s rural population with an Aboriginal Identity. The 2011 National Household Survey used a series of questions to determine the portion of the population identifies as Aboriginal. The data are not comparable over time as the individuals in some groups, especially the Métis, have become more likely to report their Métis heritage in recent census periods. FINDINGS In 2011, the Aboriginal identity population in Manitoba was 195,895 (Table 1). Within metro areas (i.e. the Winnipeg CMA), 11% identified as Aboriginal while the share in non-metro areas was 26%. Table 1. 1. ‘Aboriginal identity’ refers to whether the person reported being an Aboriginal person, that is, First Nations (North American Indian), Métis or Inuk (Inuit) and/or being a Registered or Treaty Indian (that is, registered under the Indian Act of Canada) and/or being a member of a First Nation or Indian band. Aboriginal peoples of Canada are defined in the Constitution Act, 1982, section 35 (2) as including the Indian, Inuit and Métis peoples of Canada. Aboriginal identity is derived from data collected in three questions: Aboriginal group (Question 18); Registered or Treaty Indian status (Question 20); and Membership in a First Nation or Indian band (Question 21). In Question 18, respondents could respond ‘Yes, First Nations (North American Indian),’ ‘Yes, Métis,’ ‘Yes, Inuk (Inuit)’ or ‘No, not an Aboriginal person’ by checking off the appropriate mark-in circle. In Question 20, respondents could respond ‘No’ or ‘Yes, Status Indian (Registered or Treaty).’ In Question 21, respondents could respond ‘No’ or ‘Yes, member of a First Nation/Indian band’.
