Within the context of the Canadian Census, defining Indigenous peoples has been an evolving process. This guide was created in an attempt to navigate this definition. The terms “Indian,” “Indian territory,” “Native” etc. were utilized to discover how the Department of Agriculture defined Indigenous peoples and land. All of the censuses have been linked to the original document, though the digital copy located on archive.org.

Abstract

IPUMS-International is an effort to inventory, preserve, harmonize, and disseminate census microdata from around the world. The project has collected the world's largest archive of publicly available census samples. The data are coded and documented consistently across countries and over time to facillitate comparative research. IPUMS-International makes these data available to qualified researchers free of charge through a web dissemination system.

The IPUMS project is a collaboration of the Minnesota Population Center, National Statistical Offices, and international data archives. Major funding is provided by the U.S. National Science Foundation and the Demographic and Behavioral Sciences Branch of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. Additional support is provided by the University of Minnesota Office of the Vice President for Research, the Minnesota Population Center, and Sun Microsystems.

These data support the forthcoming publication "Woods, Water, and Meadows: The Formation of Ukrainian-Canadian Identity Through Land and Settlement". This collection consists of tables and maps that use data from the Canadian Census of Population between the years 1991 - 2021 (inclusive). The paper explores the development and persistence of Ukrainian-Canadian communities in the prairies using a combination of archival documents, township maps, homestead records, and contemporary census data. It addresses the limitations of historical census data in capturing the ethnic origins of early Ukrainian settlers and highlights the importance of archival research in filling these gaps.

The database presented here brings together an assortment of early census, property assessment, and poll tax records, providing a total of 69,807 personal names. None of the census, assessment or poll tax records presented here is complete for the province - even if they claimed to be so at the time. None of the individual returns is complete internally either; people and households were overlooked, and sections of communities were undoubtedly missed.
