This dataset is a customization of Statistics Canada data to present information on highest certificate, diploma or degree, Indian status, Aboriginal identity, major field of study (CIP), attendance at school, age groups and sex for the population in Alberta and the Northern Alberta Development Council (NADC) region based on the 2011 National Household Survey.

This dataset is a customization of Statistics Canada data to present information on Aboriginal identity, housing suitability, condition of dwelling, number of persons per room, Indian status, area of residence and age groups for the population in private households of Alberta and the NADC based on the 2011 National Household Survey.

(StatCan Product) This information product has been customized to present information on annual population estimates by sex for Alberta census subdivisions from July 1, 2006 to 2018. These estimates are based on the 2016 Census counts adjusted for census net under coverage (including adjustment for incompletely enumerated Indian reserves and population reviews). These estimates are based on the 2016 Standard Geographical Classification.

Footnotes: 1 Population estimates based on the Standard Geographical Classification (SGC) 2016 as delineated in the 2016 Census. 2 A census subdivision (CSD) is a municipality (as determined by provincial/territorial legislation) or an area treated as municipal equivalent for statistical purposes (e.g., Indian reserves, Indian settlements and unorganized territories). Municipal status is defined by laws in effect in each province and territory in Canada. Census subdivisions (CSDs) are classified into 53 types according to official designations adopted by provincial/territorial or federal authorities." 3 Postcensal estimates are based on the latest census counts adjusted for census net undercoverage (including adjustment for incompletely enumerated Indian reserves) and on the estimated population growth that occurred since that census, as calculated using fiscal data. Intercensal estimates are based on postcensal estimates and census counts adjusted of the censuses preceding and following the considered year. Population estimates for census subdivisions (CSDs) in Quebec are provided by l'Institut de la statistique du Québec" (ISQ). Population estimates for CSDs in Alberta are provided by Alberta’s Office of Statistics and Information (OSI) in current geography for July 1 2016 and after. They are converted to the appropriate standard geographical classification (SGC) using geographical relationships provided by the OSI. Due to this geographical difference small discrepancies may exist between CSD populations released by Statistics Canada for Alberta and those found directly on the OSI’s website. CSD population estimates for Alberta prior to July 14 Population estimates as of July 1 are final intercensal up to 2015, final postcensal for 2016 to 2019, updated postcensal for 2020 and preliminary postcensal for 2021. 5 In order to categorize CSDs by population size (5,000-plus; under 5,000), population estimates as of July 1, 2016 are used. Moreover, within each category, CSDs are presented in ascending order on the basis of their population as of July 1, 2016. 6 Population estimates by age and sex for census subdivisions are available upon request as a custom cost-recovery product by contacting the Centre for Demography client services mailbox (statcan.demography-demographie.statcan@statcan.gc.ca).

In Ontario, British Columbia and in the three Prairie Provinces live 80% of the Aboriginal population of Canada. The most populous province, Ontario, is also the one with the highest number of Aboriginal people, (about 142 000). These people are often integrated in the large centres in the south of the province. British Columbia has almost as many Aboriginal people: 140 000. They are concentrated on Vancouver Island and around Vancouver, but can also be found almost everywhere in this province, which has the largest number of Indian reserves and settlements. In the Prairie Provinces, there are about 363 000 Aboriginal people, divided between Manitoba (128 700), Alberta (122 900) and Saskatchewan (111 300).

The aboriginal populations chart shows the composition of the aboriginal population in a municipality.

Microsattilite genotypes for all individuals at all 16 lociThis file contains the microsattilite data that was attained for this study. It is in genepop format. This file contains all loci that were genotyped including those that were removed from the analysis. The 16 numbers at the top of the file represent loci names. Each entry under a "POP" header represents an individual of that population, where A = Alaska, B = Brannen Lake, E = East Coast, M = Mayliewan (our Alberta population), and N = Norway. Each of the 16 sets of 4 digits represent diploid genotypes at each of the 16 loci for that individual. For example, 0414 would represent a heterozygous call for allele 4 and allele 14 for that individual for whatever locus it is under. The first column of 4 digits represents locus 51 and the last represents locus 222 (the rest are ordered accordingly). 00s represent missing data.Genepop_all_16_loci.txt

The Government of Alberta is responsible for managing the province’s fish resources. This includes as a first priority the proper management and conservation of fish stocks in order to ensure an abundance of fish in the future. Providing for subsistence fishing needs is recognized in allocating surplus fish stocks that are not required to maintain fish populations. In Alberta, the constitutionally protected rights of eligible Indians to fish for food is recognized in law and by government policy. This resource provides summary of the current regulations for Indian subsistence or “domestic” fishing, as well as the regulations that apply to other potential users of domestic fishing licences.
