  4. The Aboriginal People • Aboriginal share of total population on the rise • Aboriginal population much younger than the non-Aboriginal population, but is aging • One-quarter of Aboriginal people could conduct a conversation in an Aboriginal language • Aboriginal children less likely to live with both parents • Highest concentrations of Aboriginal population in the North and on the Prairies • About one-half of Aboriginal people lived in urban areas

  5. Aboriginal groups • North American Indians: One-fifth lived in Ontario • Métis: Largest increase in population • Inuit: One-half lived in Nunavut

  6. Métis Of the 976,305 people who identified themselves as Aboriginal in the 2001 Census, about 30%, or 292,310, reported that they were Métis. • Largest increase in population • More than two-thirds of Métis lived in urban areas • Three of 10 Métis were children aged 14 and under • Métis children less likely to live in a two-parent family in urban areas

  7. Inuit • Of the 976,305 people who identified themselves as Aboriginal in the 2001 Census, about 5%, or 45,070, reported that they were Inuit. • Most of this growth is due to demographic factors — higher fertility rates and increasing life expectancy. Although the Inuit birth rate has declined in recent years, it is still twice as high as the overall non-Aboriginal birth rate.

  8. One-half lived in Nunavut • Inuit population is among the youngest compared to other Aboriginal groups • Almost three-quarters of Inuit children lived with two parents • Inuktitut language is still strong

  9. Immigrants Immigration Policy Labor Market Racist Attitudes The Settlers

  10. French Canadians • French Canadians are descendants of Canada's colonial-era French settlers. • Most live in the province of Quebec, where they form a majority of the population. • The past thirty-five years have seen a strong rebirth of the French Canadians' sense of cultural identity. It has been accompanied by a political separatist movement with far-reaching implications not only for Quebec, but for all of Canada.
