Abstract: This paper applies 1996 Census data to look at the reporting patterns of the Métis population in selected Canadian urban cetnres. On the 20 Percent Sample of the 1996 Census, people could self-identify as Métis and/or report Métis ethnic origins. Quite often, due to time and space constraints, research on the Métis population has applied only one of these census questions. This paper will consider whether combining origin and identity information would result in a broader definition that more accurately reflects the situation of urban Métis in Canada.
