13 Calculations gathered by National Aboriginal Housing Association in preparation for “A New Beginning: the National Non-reserve Aboriginal Housing Strategy” paper presented March 2004. The data used in the National Aboriginal Housing Association report was drawn from a special request to Statistics Canada to generate a series of tables specifically on non-reserve Aboriginal households that was augmented with data from the Aboriginal Peoples Survey as part of the 2001 census. 14 Calculations are made on basis of rank on absolute Aboriginal Population and Relative Incidence of Aboriginal …show more content…
Siggner looked further at the situation. The overall annual growth rates of the Metis population as a whole could not be accounted for by natural increase. According to Statistics Canada, there were only about 80,000 Metis women of childbearing age from 1549, and the overall Metis population growth over the 1996-2001 period was just about 90,000. Demographers use the theoretical growth of a population due to natural increase as 5.5% a year. However, the Metis identity population’s average annual growth was about 7.4% per year from 1996-2001. Statistics Canada admits that the increase cannot be due to immigration and still Statistics Canada searches for an answer that does not involve them saying that they have underrepresented the Metis in previous censuses, as suggested by the Metis leaders. Siggner determined what part of the Metis population is, by Statistics Canada data, growing. He found that instead of the age cohorts declining with age due to mortality, Metis age cohorts are growing at a very high rate. This means that the population already born, instead of declining, is increasing, according to Statistics Canada data. Siggner suggested “ethnic drift” or “ethnic mobility” as possible
