A Profile of the Métis
The Métis people are one of Canada's three Aboriginal groups. While the characteristics of North American Indians and Inuit are relatively well documented, little is known about the Métis. Based on the 1991 Aboriginal Peoples Survey, this report provides an overview of the population who identify with the Métis. It analyzes the socio-economic situation of the Métis in terms of their demographic characteristics, family status, culture, education, labour force characteristics, income, housing and health. For purposes of comparison, informations are also provided for the non-Aboriginal, North American Indian and Inuit populations.
