Aboriginal Ancestry, Single and Multiple Aboriginal Ancestry Responses for the Population in Private Households of Hamilton CMA, 2011 NHS

Original Table: Source: Statistics Canada, 2011 National Household Survey, Statistics Canada Catalogue no. 99-011-X2011029.

The footnotes in the table are represented in brackets.

Footnotes: 2 The category 'Total - Single and multiple Aboriginal ancestry responses' indicates the number of respondents who reported a Aboriginal ancestry, either as their only ancestry or in addition to one or more other ancestries. The sum of all total responses for all ancestries is greater than the total population estimate due to the reporting of multiple ancestries.
3 A single ancestry response occurs when a respondent provides one Aboriginal ancestry only, with or without one or more non-Aboriginal ancestries. For respondents with non-Aboriginal ancestry only, a single ancestry response occurs when a respondent provides one ancestry response only.
4 A multiple ancestry response occurs when a respondent provides two or more Aboriginal ancestries. For respondents with non-Aboriginal ancestry only, a multiple ancestry response occurs when a respondent provides more than one ancestry response.
5 This is a total population estimate. The sum of the ancestries in this table is greater than the total population estimate because a person may report more than one ancestry (ethnic origin) in the NHS.
6 'Aboriginal ancestry' includes persons who reported one or more than one of First Nations (North American Indian), Métis or Inuit ancestry in Question 17, either with or without also reporting a non-Aboriginal ancestry. The sum of the categories 'First Nations (North American Indian) ancestry', 'Métis ancestry' and 'Inuit ancestry' is thus greater than the sum of the total for 'Aboriginal ancestry' because persons who reported more than one Aboriginal ancestry are included in the response category for each Aboriginal ancestry they reported. All respondents with Aboriginal ancestry are counted in at least one of the categories 'First Nations (North American Indian) ancestry,' 'Métis ancestry' and 'Inuit ancestry' and also in the category 'Aboriginal ancestry.' Aboriginal peoples of Canada are defined in the Constitution Act, 1982, section 35 (2) as including the Indian, Inuit and Métis peoples of Canada. Ancestry refers to the ethnic or cultural origins of the respondent's ancestors, an ancestor being usually more distant than a grandparent. A person can have more than one ethnic or cultural origin.
7 Users should be aware that the estimates associated with this variable are more affected than most by the incomplete enumeration of certain Indian reserves and Indian settlements in the National Household Survey (NHS). In 2011, there were a total of 36 Indian reserves and Indian settlements that were 'incompletely enumerated' in the NHS. For these reserves or settlements, NHS enumeration was either not permitted or was interrupted before it could be completed, or was not possible because of natural events (specifically forest fires in Northern Ontario). For additional information, please refer to the Aboriginal Peoples Reference Guide, National Household Survey, 2011.
8 'Non-Aboriginal ancestry only' includes persons who did not report First Nations (North American Indian), Métis or Inuit ancestry in Question 17.
