Mini Bib - Community Development Info in Manitoba

Information about Manitoba's Aboriginal communities, both on and off reserves, is available on the web. The sites listed below have some useful data.

Statistics Canada

ESTAT

Many reserves are census subdivisions and that means that if you go to ESTAT (on E-Library) you can look up a lot of information about these reserves, such as Aboriginal Peoples, age/sex, workforce, on the move, commuting, earnings, education, ethncity, families, housing, immigration, income, language, marital status, place of work, and other social/economic characteristics.

Other sources

2001 Census Aboriginal Population Profiles:

Aboriginal Population Profile, 2006 Census

Not all reserves would be available, as some may be too small (in which case, they would be included in the Municipality or Census Division), and some may boycott the Census altogether. If students want to go further than ESTAT, they can meet with Gary Strike, (474-7086) the Government Documents Librarian and he can show them how to access and use cross-tabulation data for Census subdivisions.
